    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.

jekratz Are you sure about that? It's still in beta and snmorbe apparently hasn't opted for early releases.

    jlaguna and jekratz I have chat with 4 Dropbox support people. They all tell me that the 142.4.4197 version is a stable version, but the version which works with Rosetta. I don't have the earlier release option open. I don't want that.

     

    One of them tell me:

     

    ( 15:57:02 ) Visitor: How can this be M1 version?
    ( 15:57:07 ) Tony: I'm really sorry for the confusion. It appears that the version you are running is a stable version that is being made compatible with Rosetta
    ( 15:57:25 ) Visitor: Oke. Now it is clear for me.
    ( 15:57:43 ) Tony: Really sorry for the incorrect steps
    ( 15:57:52 ) Visitor: No problem.
    ( 15:58:03 ) Tony: As soon as the M1 version is available, the soort should say apple (M1)
    ( 15:58:04 ) Visitor: Very good you tell me this.
