    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.

Me and my wife have been using Dropbox for everything related to cloud storage for at least 10 years. Since we both use M1 Macs we will need to migrate over to some other service if this isn't resolved soon. We both use OneDrive for work and will probably move our personal cloud storage there too since Microsoft have Apple Silicon support on the roadmap.
