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.
PlentyGoodNot sure where you found a native M1 Mac version for OneDrive (Business).
I started using Maestral (open source) for DropBox, now testing StrongSync (paid, by ExpanDrive) for OneDrive Business.
So I can finally retire my old Intel MacBook and use my M1 MacBook with 100% native software.
You have had nearly 2 years since the transition to Apple Silicon was announced, Dropbox. I have been a paid customer for a very long time, but will absolutely be looking for other options if a native application is not released soon. I didn't just spend over $5K for a new MacBook Pro Max so that it could be slowed down by software from companies who can't be bothered to make the transition. So it will be goodbye Dropbox in short order when my new computer arrives if I don't see some kind of indication that Dropbox is at least working on this, complete with a timeline to its anticipated release.
- Agree with Mindspan. Apple silicon was announced a long time ago. Even the lazy folks at Adobe got their major programs updated. Who would’ve thought?!
Adobe managed to update their programs such as Illustrator or Photoshop with its 20+ years of code. And then there’s Dropbox. Basically just a little utility tool. Two years and no word of native support. Sometimes I wonder how some managers made it so far. Despite this thread the stock price is holding solid… I mean cmon!!
