Dropbox is an easy-to-use Cloud storage and file-syncing Service. It allows you to share and access your photos, docs, videos, and files from anywhere. Windows VPS users can also install Dropbox on their server to share files.
Note that we allow Dropbox to be installed in Windows VPS, only with the LAN Sync option disabled. When the LAN Sync option is enabled, VPS consumes excessive bandwidth and generates unusual outgoing UDP traffic on port 17500.
Follow the instructions below to disable the LAN Sync feature in the Dropbox client.
Step 1: Log in to your Windows VPS using Remote Desktop.
Step 2: Check your Start Menu → search for Dropbox. If Dropbox is not installed, download it from dropbox.com/install and install it first.
Step 3: Click the upward arrow (^) in the system tray (beside the clock). Look for the Dropbox icon (blue/white open box).
Step 4: Click the Dropbox icon. In the Dropbox menu, click on your profile picture/initials in the top-right corner. Select Preferences.
Step 5: Go to the Network tab. Disable the LAN Sync.
Click on Apply and then the OK button.
