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.
I see the same attitude in threads about Apple..."I have been a customer since the moon landing....I will leave if...Thats it! I'm cancelling if...if I don't get my way!!". I choose my words carefully. This kind of entitled reply is "deranged" because it is ineffectual; it is an illusion of power. Companies direct their resources to deliver the good and services that the majority of their customers want. That is why they inundate you with surveys.
Rally other people for your M1 native software. But like any request, even requests that sound more like emotional demands, you won't convince Dropbox (or Apple) to do anything unless they understand a significant number of their customers want this change. (There are 3 votes so far for an M1 version, compared to thousands for others)
Dropbox will get to M1 native versions eventually for the long term health of the service. There is a percentage of Dropbox customers that are with Apple, there is percentage of those Apple users that have M1 chips. To focus resources on this feature at the present time is obviously not a priority.
I voted it up. I want it to happen. Guess why? Because I'm on a M1 Mac. I didn't care less last week about Dropbox and M1 because I didn't have one. Thats not a coincidence.
Then again. I'M LEVEL 9!!! (Like the Beatle's Song!) Dropbox better DO iT! or I'LL USE MORE CAPS!!!
Points well taken. I donât think youâre wrong, but I still think that âderangedâ is too strong a word for a natural tendency to want to affect change by means of an emotional response. âMisguidedâ, sure, but not quite deranged, at least for the vast majority of those customers.
But I hear ya, brother đ
And Iâm merely a Level 7, so what do I know?

I finally realized today that the memory issues I've been having on my M1 MacMini are due to a memory-hungry DropBox....just like others in this forum have noted. CleanMyMac keeps alerting me that DropBox is RAM-Heavy....it's using 2.5Gb of RAM just sitting idle. I am hoping one of these days DropBox will fix this as I rely on, perhaps too heavily, DropBox for all my day-to-day files. Fortunately, I also have a local hard drive and another cloud service back up since it's not good to rely on just one.
Last week I "un-subscribed" to "dropbox premium" or whatever-the-heck-name they're calling it now.
Uninstalling.
Keeping the "free" tier for my iPhone - cos Apple ensures it runs correctly...but that's all!
I moved to iCloud Drive and have ZERO complaints!
