This is the exact REQUIRED method to make changes like selective sync even if you follow the instructions above making your own service. If you need to make a change, then de-register the service and run it as the user, make the changes and then convert it back to running as a service. The downside is that the configuration of the client MUST be done as the installed user, then converted to a service. First and foremost because it's NOT SUPPORTED ON WINDOWS SERVER, proceed at your own risk knowing that IT WILL occasionally not work and may need a reboot or even a re-installation.Ī paid solution is boxifier, which does exactly the same result as above to wrap it as a system service.

I've found several workarounds though that may help you out. I've called Dropbox support on this and they just say run it at your own risk because it's not supported on servers and they cannot guarantee that it will work because it's not supported. Dropbox is designed to be an application ran by an actual user.
