    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.

Is everyone forgetting you cant even keep dropbox running on a ~2014 intel mac? Theyve never cared about this. Even if everyone in this thread (I love you all so far, btw) canceled it wouldnt affect them at all since they have so many corporate clients now, hence all the spam and other nonsense they keep weighing down the app with. I bet so many devs there would love the opportunity to optimize everything and just cant get it approved.

 

Anyways, make sure to check out the new features launching that you dont need or want and get in the way of everything else. (which are probably great since dropbox has so many amazing people working there.. just.... urg)
