Dropbox Apple Silicon (M1) install
Hi,
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13" with the M1 processor and I cannot seem to get a native install of Dropbox for this chipset. From searching the community, it seems like M1 support sh...
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.
Honestly, the lack of an update for native M1 support has lead to me finally cancelling my Dropbox Plus subscription after 7 years. The desktop app has gotten incredibly intrusive and slow, and at this point doesn't really do anything I need that iCloud doesn't. End of an era!
Same here. Dropbox has become a fat boring product that doesn't move or advance. All I want is file sync not weird apps that don't do anything. And not running natively on M1 after a half year is inexcusable.
My subscription will run out in two months. Have cancelled.
Please get it done already, running natively on Apple Silicon is a must moving forwards

Hope that this spreads the word around...

Way too late! 8 months have gone by without feedback from Dropbox.
I've already subscribed an alternative cloud storage service.
I can't believe it. After months of silence, Dropbox accepted the "feature request" yesterday ..... I hope now, that we get something next year that works.
Frankly: Next year somewhere in the first half? You need again another 3/4 of a year?

From a Community Manager yesterday (28.10.2021)
"Dropbox currently supports Apple M1 through Rosetta. We have an internal build for native Apple M1 support, which we're currently testing and we’re committed to releasing in the first half of 2022. While we regularly ask for customer feedback and input on new products or features, this should not have been one of those instances.
Status changed to: Accepted"The lack of native M1 support, nearly a year after M1 appeared, is frankly unbelievable. Delaying til 2022 is absurd. Sounds like Dropbox is taking their long-time customer base for granted. I'll give them til the new year, but it sounds like they've given up on this segment of the market and vastly underestimated the speed and popularity of this new generation of Apple-silicon devices.
Please get it together, Dropbox.
And despite of have NO Apple M1 integration Dropbox sales are UP! They makes MORE money every quarter, every year (2.2B!) !!! Has the world gone mad? Have they not seen this thread?? (And there is NO exploding head emoji! Oh that does it!!)
