v142.3.4187 Native M1 Silicon?
I entered the Beta program to get Dropbox into Native M1, but I see that the latest Beta version is still running under Rosetta (Intel).
Is there any outlook on full M1 silicon support without Rose...
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.
tpayton Are you able to choose the location of your Dropbox folder? And what sorts of icons do you see in the Finder? Do sync’d files get a green checkmark, as in the Intel version?
Icons in Finder
- Apple Silicon - No, Intel - Yes (but those have been finicky for a long time)
Not sure about location (see screen shot) I don't want to touch that since my dropbox is huge.
tpayton Thanks for the info and screenshots. Yeah, all I've got in the Finder is a goofy cloud icon indicating folders with remote content only — except it is still marking folders whose contents are all local. Re Dropbox location, I of course wasn't asking you to change it — how presumptuous that would have been! 🙂 — I was just wondering if you were able to. In my case, the current location is locked in, as you can see in this screenshot:
Moreover, when I was "upgraded" to the beta, the beta actually moved my Dropbox location to ~/Library/CloudStorage without asking or even informing me. This completely screwed up syncing. The process hung with over 40,000 files to sync and I eventually had to delete my local Dropbox, reinstall the beta (still believing it would work after a few glitches — should have switched back to Intel) and just download my entire Dropbox from the website. It took a long time for it to sync, but it finally did, and syncing seems to be working reasonably well, but my confidence is shaken. And the Dropbox location is still hardwired in (I would like to move it back to ~/Documents) and there's still the missing/poorly functioning icons issue. (FWIW the Finder icons were never finicky for me in the Intel version. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) Oh, and I also get only three Dropbox options when I right click on a file instead of seven, as in your screenshot:
