Apple Silicon (M1) Desktop Sync Compatibility
Please can you upgrade the Dropbox app so that it works natively on Apple Silicon Macs (M1) without Rosetta.
Rosetta is not an option as it annihilates the battery.
This may be a duplicate of the below idea however that started for ARM processors in general and you haven't looked at it in 6 years so starting an Apple specific idea in the hope you see it.
There are also lots of comments on this thread to help support the case for demand:
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.

Getting a new MacBook Pro today. The first thing I will do is install Dropbox, download all my files, then uninstall Dropbox and cancel my 14-year paid subscription.
So a service I pay for has to be convinced to support the latest technology? The fact that we have to vote to even have the idea considered is just embarrassing. The math is simple: support the current technology of M1 Macs on a reasonable timeline or I’ll take my business elsewhere.
I can’t believe they haven’t released an native M1 version of Dropbox after over a year of the SoC being released….
With the amount of money I pay annually to have my Dropbox account, this is literally a joke - right? Didn't know I was paying so much money for freeware....or at least this is what your attitude feels like. I will MORE than happy be trying other products to dump Dropbox for a company that is a little more progressive technology wise! This is pathetic!
I have "dropped " google drive for dropbox originally because of the app feature level and I must stress my disappointment for Lori "Dropboxer" comment that more votes are needed.
Basically dropbox does not care about one of the most noticeable evolution of Apple in the past years with the introduction of the M1 processor.
While all major software companies are implementing native support for it (Adobe, Microsoft etc...) dropbox is looking for "votes".
That's not really what I call field marketing, strategy and competitive watch.
Dropbox, please keep abreast of the times and emerging technology trends.
Yes please, Apple silicon optimization is huge!!
I can’t believe the Dropbox app isn’t optimized for Apple Silicon yet! It’s been over a year. Just got a new MacBook Pro and notice the increased memory resources.
Please prioritize this issue. I think Dropbox has are quite a few of Mac users as paying customers. And looking forward, not many x86-based Macs will be sold …
This really needs to happen. Dropbox has been a huge part of my workflow and going to a new apple product with an Silicon chip I do hesitate to keep Dropbox as a part of my products
