Apple Silicon (M1) Desktop Sync Compatibility

[_robin_]

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:

30 pages later, and still no response from DB. The silence is deafening.

The CEO of Dropbox just responded. Go back to your lives, citizens…

This is all a joke right? Surely they are working on it... No way they are that deaf to the requests?

Wow, this thread was not what I was looking for when trying to fix the memory and battery drains of running Dropbox on my M1 laptop 😕

We’ve been using Dropbox since day 1 with half that time on a business plan.

I’m really disappointed to find out this isn’t even started or planned. That’s insane!

Starting to look for other options for our studio as this isn’t acceptable from such a large company.

This will likely be the final nail in the coffin for Dropbox use at my company. Many of our machines are M1 now, this is unacceptable. We've already been in transition to Google Drive as it's interface is just easier for users to navigate and understand.

Dropbox support of M1 is a no-brainer: just do it 🙂

If Dropbox isn’t updated for Apple Silicon by the time my company’s new Macbooks arrive (3-4 weeks), we will be cancelling our Dropbox business account and moving to a competitor.

Please. This is a no-brainer. Don’t make me leave Dropbox for Google Drive.

Another vote for M1 native support. I'd even go as far as to say to stop wasting your resources on paper, docusigns, video commenting and the slew of other apps that aren't finding mass adoption.

Nothing is quite as crucial as making your priority product get with the times.

This is positively idiotic.  It seems to me that dropbox has gotten cocky in it's place in the cloud file sharing world.  It's WILDLY tone-def to not upgrade their lacklustre desktop app to the new hardware.  They're a big company, I'm sure they've got a developer that can take the 15 minutes needed to port it over.  This is just willfully ignoring the valuable Mac users.
