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.

FYI The public release of DropBox client 142.3.4187 is Apple Silicon native is working great for my team. I maintain a bunch of Macs, some Intel and some Apple Silicon. No problems.

tpayton thx for the reply.

I am at v142.3.4187 

 

And this is what I see in the activity monitor:

What can be the reason for this?

    Adrie ten Bookum You're on the Intel version of Dropbox. So that is what Activity Monitor is reporting under "Kind". Or am I not understanding what you are asking?

      This is exactly the problem..

      tpayton showed the (same) version, but with "Apple" (eg M1 Silicon)..
      Why does mine stick to "intel" emulation (eg via Rosetta)??

       

      I did rebooted my MB-Air... 

      Is this version capable to run in both Native and emulated modus...?

      And if so, how do I get it on Native M1?

       

      I appreciate the support. thx!!

        You have to toggle the early releases option in your Settings on the Dropbox website:

        But even then you might not get the upgrade; I've seen others saying they opted for early releases and are still on Intel. My hunch is that they are cut way back on automatic upgrades because of all the problems. You can also download and install it using the link I gave you in my initial reply but, again, I wouldn't risk it if your Intel version is working well and isn't eating too much RAM or stealing too many CPU cycles.
