Hi CChesnutt, thank you for flagging this bug to us! Our team is investigating so that we can resolve this ASAP.

 

You also mentioned that you weren't able to disable dark mode on just Dropbox. We're also currently working on a toggle that will allow you to override your device settings to stay on light mode or dark mode. Stay tuned for that!
