I nearly go blind every time I open dropbox, how can you guys have been around so long yet you still don't have a simple toggle to change the CSS style to a darker color to not blind your users?

Seriously. Can we please get a night mode?

We are closing this idea so that we can provide the Community with updates on Dark Mode by individual product. We hope this provides a better user experience as this thread has grown quite long. Thanks for all of your votes, comments and enthusiasm!

Coming from an android & Linux user I feel your frustration! Still having about the same problem myself

Focusing on making more money and not useability. I've switched to Joplin for now and I'm loving it.

White screens were old 3 years ago. Joplin has 5 different screen themes, and it's Free.

Surely this isn't so difficult to do ??! Really need to be able to set the thing to a darker background. Especially the popup window  on the system tray icon. The writing on that popup is too thin as well and barely readable against the white. Come on dropbox guys, please get your act together - it isn't an enormous set of UI elements to modify, now , is  it ?!

I am still 100% waiting! I mean it's their app, a couple of hex codes and the background & font at the very least is changed! I really don't get the hold up! First I was away from technology for 8 months, came back and both my Dropbox accounts were gone! I had to remake them. But years of files & documents gone, pissed me off (I mean it was my fault ultimately) but still.

 

All we are asking for is a dark background & a light enough to read font!

There does seem to be a frustratingly long silence from Dropbox. There at least used to be some imput or comments from them on the eventual role out of this (and several other long overdue) features. For the first time I'm beginnig to contemplate a future without Dropbox. Not a road I'm anxious to go down.
