ARM binaries for Dropbox on Linux

At the moment, there are no ARM binaries for Dropbox on Linux. Are these planned at any point?

 

The use case I'm aiming for is runing Dropbox on a Raspberry Pi to act as a local LAN Sync server for other machines running macos.

    Hey mstgrv, I hope you're doing well! 

     

    At the moment, we don't have any solid plans, or an ETA on ARM binaries for Linux OS. 

     

    However, keep in mind that we're always looking for ways to improve Dropbox & we regularly release new versions of our products.

    Hm...🤔 Probably that's why the same idea was there for years with thousands of likes/upvotes and finally was dropped/closed. 🤦 Is there something changed in meantime?! Or maybe you have forgotten...

    That's it.

    Thanks for that. ARM binaries would be great to allow running Dropbox on a Raspberry Pi in general, but I've also now seen that Lan Sync doesn't work at on Macs with File Provider: https://help.dropbox.com/sync/lan-sync-overview

     

    That's my intended use case so the Lan Sync issue would need to be solved first I guess, is there an ETA for when that feature might be supported?

    Hi mstgrv, currently, there isn't any information on if LAN sync would return for Macs using File Provider.
