    <title>topic Apple silicon - Do's and Don'ts?? in Apps and Installations</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/Dropbox-Apple-Silicon-M1-install/m-p/569362#M31583</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;I get that Dropbox does not support Apple Silicon Macs AKA M1 Macs. Is there any list of what works and what doesn't work? I reorganized some folders on my MacBook Pro M1 and those changes just don't sync, meaning they don't show up when I log into dropbox.com and they don't show up on my old MBP.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Some people seem to be able to open the Dropbox desktop app using Rosetta, but I can't open it at all.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I had been accessing my DB folders through Finder, but if syncing is hit or miss, I'm concerned I'm going to lose or damage critical files.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Any idea what is safe?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Dropbox Apple Silicon (M1) install</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/Dropbox-Apple-Silicon-M1-install/m-p/500325#M31407</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13" with the M1 processor and I cannot seem to get a native install of Dropbox for this chipset. From searching the community, it seems like M1 support should be available in the latest installer. However, trying that plus the latest beta build all ask me to install Rosetta during installation. What am I doing wrong?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Warren&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Does the offline version work from&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-117-3-356/td-p/499856" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-117-3-356/td-p/499856&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;However, reading some other web pages it looks like Rosetta may be a requirement for install. I cant seem to find any info on that on the help centre, however.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I get the same notice to install Rosetta. Maybe this is a problem with the installer vs the Dropbox app, but how to tell?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I looks like you can use Get Info an an app via the Finder to see if it is Intel or Universal (M1). I did so for the 117 build recommended, and it says it is an Intel app. Does or does not Dropbox have a Universal version of the app native to Apple silicon? It does not seem so...&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No, I dont think it has any native apps as yet - the web pages certainly do not list native ones.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;My entry-level M1 MacBook Air was delivered today.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;One of the first things I do on a new machine is to install dropbox. I was crestfallen to learn that there is no native M1 port yet.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On this 8GB machine, Dropbox v117.4.378 is by far the heaviest RAM user: According to Activity Monitor, it's currently using just over 2GB !&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I can understand that such a port is not a straight-forward undertaking, but could someone from Dropbox perhaps supply information on when such a thing might become available for testing?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Honestly, the lack of an update for native M1 support has lead to me finally cancelling my Dropbox Plus subscription after 7 years. The desktop app has gotten incredibly intrusive and slow, and at this point doesn't really do anything I need that iCloud doesn't. End of an era!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a MacBook Air with 8GB ram and concur that Dropbox is a hog. Would a native M1 version help reduce memory usage? If so I really hope Dropbox is going to release one. As others have stated if Dropbox gets to be too hungry with memory I'll need to consider alternatives. Perhaps there are tips to cut back on memory? Maybe selective syncing out stuff would help?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Same here. Dropbox has become a fat boring product that doesn't move or advance. All I want is file sync not weird apps that don't do anything. And not running natively on M1 after a half year is inexcusable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My subscription will run out in two months. Have cancelled.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, we are in the same boat, it's very disappointing. Contacting Dropbox support on 3 occasions and being passed to different members of the team, nobody knows what M1 Mac is, nobody knows what "native" is and they all just send me to a page that explains how to reduce CPU use. Really terrible support experience.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Just a quick note to add me to the list of Mac users that would like to see a M1 native Dropbox app.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Drop box is a memory hog on my brand new Apple Macbook Pro M1. It's the only important app I'm using that still runs under emulation and is not native. After many years of being a fan, I started looking around for alternatives as there is no roadmap of getting an ARM native solution that is more efficient.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The main Dropbox process is taking up 1,2GB of RAM when it is doing nothing, and look at how many other subprocesses!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="applem1_1-1618054922047.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/22951i07568DBC81C81DA1/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="applem1_1-1618054922047.png" alt="applem1_1-1618054922047.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I dont know about the audience that Dropbox is targeting but just because of the fact that more product pictures are presented with the „macos style of things“ i‘d say that mac users are more important to dropbox than windows users. Why doesnt dropbox just add m1 support then? Shouldnt it be easy to do with an update of xcode?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All the „problems of rosetta 2“ put aside, users that actually need a service like dropbox need a long term perspective and solution. Rosetta 2, as Rosetta (1) was aswell, is just meant to be a temporary solution. It should help with the transition to apple silicon macs. What is isnt or shouldnt be is a method to straight up &lt;STRONG&gt;ignore&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;the technology change. Apple said on WWDC 2020 that the transition to apple silicon should take up to two years. One of these years is close being over (after presenting it in june 2020), any compamies including google, microsoft and many more already made the change but nothing can be heard of dropbox other than the fact that they „Dont know yet“.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Dear Dropbox team, please wake up and realize that M1 support is needed for a lot of people, therefore customers but also future customers. And presenting your product with no native support and no big and official statement is not the way a large dompamy hould comunicate with their audience.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It would be great if Dropbox would somehow communicate their strategy of natively supporting Apple Silicon.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Even box.com has made an announcement recently ...&lt;/P&gt;</description>
