The dark mode for Dropbox resets on my macOS desktop app whenever I restart my device.

Hello Dropbox people. I see the setting is now in the Mac App but it doesn't work until you open the settings. So this means if you reboot your computer, or quit and restart DropBox, it goes back to using the light theme even if you picked dark. It's kind of annoying to have to go into settings each time to fix this.

    Hey amok_san - sorry to hear about this.

    Can you clarify your device's OS version and the version of the Dropbox desktop app as well?
