    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.

M1 support is not a feature request - it is and should be considered a core to the Dropbox service. Within the creative industry (I'm in music) Apple computers and Dropbox file sharing has more or less been the norm for 10 odd years.

 

But having one Macbook Air M1 already and just ordered the new MacBook Pro M1 Max to replace my current Mac desktop (intel), I will have no other option but to move my cloud storage and sharing elsewhere if this isn't sorted asap.

 

It is just insane that this is even an issue. Small and big software developers alike have if not already presented native code at the very least offered roadmaps.
