That's the same link that I got those instructions from that I put at the end of my last response. Will have to see whether it's worth the trouble. But thanks for the encouraging words...so, there is zero slow-down to my all Apple Silicon system if I don't actuate an Intel app?

Looks like I'll remove Dropbox again and cancel my subscription next chance I can get...I have spent dozens of hours working with Dropbox to help them figure out a nasty bug, but I just don't see them take their users' concerns serious as is shown by the fact that the client still hogs memory like it's 1999, and that they still don't have an Apple Silicon version like it's November 2020.

Why oh why?

Thanks for your help!

Correct. Rosetta only runs when needed to make an Intel binary run on Apple Silicon, and then, once that is finished, Rosetta quits.

    Thanks, TJ!

    That does indeed sound like it's been solved in the best of ways.


    I trust that Apple will, at some point, provide tools to scan the system for Intel apps, and a means of going all-in with Apple Silicon apps only. Sure looking forward to that...this little MB Air has been silently crushing anything I have been throwing at it (and that's a lot) more snappily than my MacBook Pro 2018 (max config) every did. Apple Silicon will be the future...or ARM/RISC in general.

    If you open the System Information app which is included with macOS you will find an item Applications somewhere on the left. Click this and let it load, it will show you all installed application with their architecture.
