Desktop app (with syncing) for devices with ARM processors

Re: Dropbox client for Windows 11 ARM?

This is perhaps indicative: I am giving up and selling my ARM Surface Pro X to CEX (a UK 2nd-hand exchange franchise) and replacing it with an old Intel model of Surface Pro 4 or maybe 8. Now what's interesting is that, when purchased, the Surface Pro X was priced alongside the Surface Pro 8. But the used/refurbished value of the Pro X is now half of the Pro 4 or 8. In other words, ARM has presumably proved a market failure. Because, presumably, Windows' emulation isn't up to standard for too many apps, such as Dropbox; and apps such as Dropbox haven't gone out on a limb to meet ARM's demands.

Dropbox, you really need to develop an ARM version for at least Windows 11. As a paying customer, and knowing many DB customers, it is a must as ARM based Windows devices are really ramping up in enterprises too.

Hi Everybody,
 
I'm thrilled to announce that Dropbox will offer native support for Windows-on-ARM with a beta coming later this summer. Users will be able to enjoy all of Dropbox’s features from their fully connected Windows-on-Arm devices, including Sync and File Explorer integration.
 
We will update the community when it releases!
 
Regards,
Ben

Native ARM compiles?

 

And how about the Mac and Linux versions, @BenDBX ?

All you need now is the Linux ARM64 versions (Raspberry Pi) and you're set!
