Request for Dark Mode for the Website and the Desktop (including Paper)

[puf]

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!

You can find more information at the end of this thread, or by clicking this link.

Yes!!! Please we definitely need this! We already have it on iOS so please migrate it to the website and standalone as well!! Please!

Congratulations, your idea has been delivered!

Dark mode is now available for Dropbox, and Dropbox Paper on Dropbox.com. It is also available for the Dropbox app on desktop and mobile devices. If you haven’t seen dark mode yet, you can flip it on from the “?” menu on the bottom-right of any Paper doc. You can also turn on dark mode from your computer’s system preferences.

Thanks for sharing your suggestion with us, we'd love to hear any more ideas you have!

@Emmet How does one get the Dropbox Paper app for the desktop?

[Emmet]

@marsbars: At the moment, using the Dropbox desktop app, Paper docs are stored as web-based files and open on dropbox.com.

Thank you for delivering this very important update to the Dropbox user experience. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find the controls for turning on "Dark mode" on the website or in the App. Hopefully, this will change in the near future.

I’m not seeing dark mode anywhere

[EmilRueegg]

Me too. I can't see it anywhere. Also reinstalled dropbox on my Mac. not working

[tonekitchen]

Same here. Checked that I have the latest version, restarted computer, checked all possible settings and preferences. I only see dark mode in the web version of Paper.

Hi guys, happy Monday! 

At the moment you can't activate dark mode when using the Paper app. As for the Dropbox app, you can change the mode, based on your mobile's settings. 

If you need anything else, let me know.

Right now im on version 146.3.4820 which is the newest and I can't access it on my Mac. Even when my dark mode is systemwide enabled in my system preferences
