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.

    macOS Tahoe 26.2, Dropbox 238.4.6075

    Dropbox is fully synced, all files up to date.

    After login, dropdown is light (sc1). Just opening the Preferences dialog without changing settings turns it dark (sc2).
