Apps and Installations
Have a question about a Dropbox app or installation? Reach out to the Dropbox Community and get solutions, help, and advice from members.
Please can you upgrade the Dropbox app so that it works natively on Apple Silicon Macs (M1) without Rosetta.
Rosetta is not an option as it annihilates the battery.
This may be a duplicate of the below idea however that started for ARM processors in general and you haven't looked at it in 6 years so starting an Apple specific idea in the hope you see it.
There are also lots of comments on this thread to help support the case for demand:
Google Drive is now M1 stable on Mac (after months of public betas):
Hopefully this is well into the development process. Box and Google Drive have now released full M1 support, so Dropbox will be losing my company's business in the near future if they aren't working to update their product.
I hadn't found this thread when I started up a completely similar thread at https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-ideas/Apple-Silicon-native-support/idi-p/535627. I'm just pasting that URL here so that both threads are linked - anything to convince Dropbox that the community really wants this.
This thread is already linked in my thread.

I am leaving dropbox. No Dark mode and no m1 support..
what a lazy company.
This needs to happen, dropbox, what's going on????? Are you for real?
This is a major need.
I've cancelled my dropbox months ago due to this customer-ignoring attitude. You put engineers on Dropbox Replay but don't care that it doesn't run on new Macs natively for a year and a half already?
To everyone else: icloud sync works perfectly fine, native, well integrated, no extra memory usage. I can recommend.
It's very sad and frustrating to see Dropbox so out of touch with their customer base. M1 macs are here to stay and intel Macs are on their way out so it seems utterly ridiculous that this isn't already being worked on as part of just keeping up with Mac support.
