    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.

I have a corporate account with 35 users.  The lack of native Mac support is a huge issue for me and one that would make me seriously considering moving to another service.  

 

It's very short sighted to not support as many platforms as you can.  That's so obviously the future of computing and the whole reason the Cloud exists to begin with. People need to access their data through various means and devices.  It's mind boggling that you haven't implemented this already.  Do you even know what your business is?

 

The goal should be Dropbox on every platform, as silly as it may seem today.  It won't be long that I want to view files from my TV app, my car, my watch, etc...  I might even want to access files from my headphones... maybe I want Dropbox to read a document to me. "Siri, read Document XYZ."

 

If you're asking yourself what's the business case for this, you're asking the wrong question.  This is your business.
