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.

Any word on when Dropbox will be native for Apple Silicon M1? I still need to install Rosetta to run Dropbox on my M1 Mac.
Would be great to see this happen! OneDrive did announce that the M1 version is coming in November OneDrive will soon run natively on Apple M1 silicon | TechRadar
Hi, I'm one of these business users that are going to upgrade to M1 Macs. Any news from Dropbox?
This is becoming a joke, dropbox is premium and should have native m1 support by now.
this is pretty ridiculous. M1 Chips shipped one year ago - more than 2 years ago apple offered for dev teams the apple silicon based chips and a company like dropbox can't handle a small software like this? We pay every month for a service that we love - but simple things like convert it to a native version is not possible? Very embarrassing -.-
Please dear mr. dropbox, update ur software soon. Ur software doesn't use metal engine or renderings for ambient occlusion. Its just a "simple" tool.
Regards
Marcel
Absolutely!
Megan This really shouldn’t be something that we vote on. If Dropbox wants to support Macs it HAS to include that, otherwise it shouldn’t be available for the platform anymore and customers have to go somewhere else - it’s a simple business decision and not a nice-to-have!
Megan What is wrong with you guys, seriously?
This request can be combined with the 436 Votes from "Desktop app (with syncing) for devices with ARM processors" (https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-ideas/Desktop-app-with-syncing-for-devices-with-ARM-processors/idi-p/57554) since both request an ARM optimized version. Combine the votes and you have the most requested feature for dropbox in 2021.
This is becoming comical. Time to stop sending them money, just have to find the time to move the data. I guess I should do that on an _old_ intel mac.
