Research direction

No project files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the failing Conda environment on Windows with Python 3.8 and compare the Dropbox 11.25 package metadata in the Anaconda and conda-forge channels. Done means Dropbox SDK 11.x installs without dependency conflicts on the stated platforms.

Description

question

Can you provide an 11.x version of the Dropbox SDK via the Anaconda package manager? The primary Conda package channels show only Dropbox 10.x to be available on anaconda and conda-forge.

While there is an 11.25 version on conda-forge, I can't get it to install with conda. The 10.x version in the Anaconda channel installs without issu. In my experience, the Conda environment fails with conflicts even when only Dropbox 11.x and Python are the required dependencies. Is the version listed on conda-forge really compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux?
