    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.

Totally agree that this is showing their cards at Dropbox regarding the sentiment to a big part of their market.  Please take a lesson from Adobe on this one.  We are also an Adobe business partner and they have led by being the first one to have support for new hardware to the market and their commitment to support it is entirely evident in being the first ones out of the gate to support new hardware configurations.  They're not always perfect but I know that we are valued.  They do not drag their feet 'WAITING FOR AN ONLINE PETITION' before they decide to make an important business decision.  Incredibly disheartening.
