Apple Silicon (M1) Desktop Sync Compatibility
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 duplicat...
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.
So as of today we are on the second generation of M1 Macs, and still no native app. I feel really helpless on this, as it will be logistically very difficult to move around all my files that I have relied on Dropbox to selectively sync for a decade now. I do not like being trapped by pathetically poor engineering with no good alternative. I guess that's the problem...they know it's hard to move and there isn't enough competition, so Dropbox feels they can ignore their customers.
This is not a feature request that needs "community votes". This is a basic software compatibility. Get your sh!t together, this is not freeware. I actually pay more per year for Dropbox than almost any other app or online service.
