4 years agoAfter more than a year of the Apple Silicon announcement and many months after Apple Silicon Macs have been released, Dropbox still doesn't provide a native version. It is now obvious to me that they have abandoned the Apple ecosystem. So I decided to abandon Dropbox. Today I found that Google Drive already has a Apple Silicon native version, and it supports all the functions I use with Dropbox, and I made the switch.
Goodbye Dropbox. You had your chances, but failed to deliver.

Just an FYI: I cancelled my "DropBox Pro" or whatever the h*ll they call it.
They had me since the day they first started pay services. (they had me before that, but that's neither here-nor-there).
I added up the amount I paid and found that Synology - sitting on my desk - was a better solution. They have ALL the same sharing capabilities and - OUTSIDE of "offsite" which I'm not worried about - is EASILY the same price.
Just my $.02

I agree there should be an announcement. But counter to everyone leaving dropbox for not providing an M1 native version, Dropbox runs just fine on an M1 Mac. I don't notice a single difference in the response or function of Droxbox from an Intel to an M1 Mac. And trust me, my Dropbox capacity is 50x the average user.

I don’t know you but for me that is a deal breaker which is the reason why I moved away from Dropbox.
