Hi CChesnutt, let's jump right into this! 

 

As a first step, would you mind clarifying if you use a dark mode on your device, or with Chrome? 

 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

    Thanks, Megan. I use Dark Mode wherever I can. I had OSX set to Dark (I have had it this way for years). It appears that Chome uses the OSX settings (Light, Dark, or Auto). I could not find a setting ONLY for Chrome. But in the past, this has not been a problem as DropBox was always "light", even when I had my OSX settings set to Dark Mode. This is something that changed since last week, I now view "dark mode" in DropBox and I can't read the comments unless I change the entire settings of my operating system to Light mode.
