    Hi all,

    Native Apple silicon support is now fully available. All users with Apple silicon devices will receive the native version of Dropbox automatically. If you would like to update your device manually, you can do so by clicking on the latest Stable Build and downloading the Offline Installer (Apple Silicon) file. For more information, visit the Dropbox Help Center.

     

    If you need assistance with anything else, please feel free to create a new thread and our community team will be happy to assist.

What a poor response from Dropbox. Really, you claim to support MacOS as a platform, but refuse to think about updating to modern standards unless we dance, rally the troops, and vote? Nah, I see you’re going the way of Evernote and telling your customers to F* off. 

 

Well okay
 I’m gone! Removing every file I have and deactivating my account. I’m leaving not because of your slow response to implementing this, I’m leaving because it is absolutely foolish to tell customers that their feedback isn’t valid to pass along to the appropriate team. 

 

So if we vote for Dropbox to add an option to change interface colors, that would take precedent over developing the core feature to work with the updated version of a committed platform? Seems shortsighted and a way to lose customers if you can’t evaluate on your own that some things are simply priority. I understand the volume of customers in need may affect some things, but what a short-sighted and ignorant response. 

 

Good riddance Dropbox. I hope you go out of business. Really.
