@wdhanig welcome to the forum.

The last pre-release for desktop to support Windows 7 was [v2.12.5](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/tag/v2.12.5).

The last full release for desktop to support Windows 7 was [v2.11.11](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/tag/v2.11.11).

Windows 7 was no longer supported from Joplin v2.12.7 when Electron (the framework used to build Joplin) dropped support for Windows 7/8/8.1 as they were no longer supported by Microsoft and so were "end of life".

There is no "web interface".

Thanks for your help. What version should I install on Android to be able to sync via Dropbox?

Regards,

I do not know what particular Android version is needed to maintain sync compatibility with these older desktop clients. I do know that Joplin occasionally changed the sync format so all clients had to be upgraded for sync to carry on working, but I do not think that has happened for some time.

I only found out about the last Win7 versions by looking it up in the [changelog](https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/about/changelog/desktop.md) for you.

When it comes to Android, the last version from the 2.x.x line should work.

The (beta) web app might also work on Windows 7 ([https://app.joplincloud.com/](https://app.joplincloud.com/)). Be aware, however, that it 1) requires a relatively recent version of Chrome/Firefox/Safari (or a similar browser) and 2) should be considered in beta. See [GitHub - joplin/web-app: Joplin web app (beta)](https://github.com/joplin/web-app?tab=readme-ov-file#joplin-web-app) for more details.
