Hello Everybody!
I have created this thread to provide updates on Dark Mode for Dropbox on Desktop. We are closing off the longer thread for general Dark Mode requests so that we can provide our community with updates for specific products, and so that requests don't get lost.
At the time of posting, our team is looking into Dark Mode for Desktop, but cannot provide a time frame for implementation. You can vote for this idea and comment here to show your support. I will update the status of this idea when we know more!
Regards,
Ben

I'm on MacOS, and have dark mode configured in the OS and on dropbox.com. Still when I open Dropbox from the menu bar, it glares at me in white and blinds me.
For web sites, I use the Dark Reader Chrome extension (works great here). Desktop apps present more of a problem (when they bypass the OS settings).

It doesn't work on MacOS at all. I tested on two different MacOS versions. On my main machine I have MacOS 14.3.1.

Now that we have dark mode for dropbox.com do you think we can now get one for dropboxforum.com? - Nancy2 years ago

Hi frankiegee! Did you choose the âDark Modeâ option from your web settings, or the âOperating Systemâ one?
If the latter, youâll need to make sure your OS settings are also updated accordingly and perhaps, also restart your computer.
If that doesnât work though, Iâd like to know your OS version, to check this further.

I changed mode on the web site, but the desktop app still looks white. Do I need to reset it somehow? Log out/in?

HI everyone, it should be possible to switch to a dark theme from the Dropbox site, which would pass through to the Dropbox desktop application using these steps.
Could you please let me know to see if this feature is working as expected on your devices?

Yeah even on the settings page itself there is just no option to change the light/dark theme.

on the web? i see no setting to change form light to dark. and on Mac OS, even their menu bar icon that drops down doesn't follow light/dark settings on the Mac, it is always light.

Yeah, i just did a 30 day free trial of their Essentials plan to move a large file and things were dark. When i canceled it things went white again.

You sure about that? I pay for DB and I don't have dark mode.
