Dark mode switch is missing on the Dropbox website

Hello, could you please add an option to disable Dark mode on Dropbox website? Is highly unusable for my eyesight. My system has dark mode on but most of apps have a switch to enable or disable it ...

    Hey uaknight - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Out of curiosity, could you clear your browser's cache and/or try another browser as well, preferably with no extensions or plugins running and let us know how it goes?

     

    Thanks so much!

Something seems to have changed recently because Dark Mode in browser, seems to have disappeared and i am BLINDED but the bright UI. I can turn on Dark Mode when i go to my settings but it doesn't seem to apply, and anywhere else the option is missing

    I tried all of this as well this morning, after noticing yesterday that the dark mode has vanished from the main page, but activates when I go to settings and the theme option is available, but only while in settings, not on the main page. Something changed yesterday afternoon in eastern time. Please fix! It's so hard to view the site now.

      Mine as well.  It was in dark mode and this morning when I opened it, I'm blinded by the light! Wish they'd let us know if this could be fixed, and why does it just do this all on its own??

        Add me to this list. Mine was working just fine earlier yesterday, now the only page that's in dark mode is the settings page. All other pages are blinding white and I also cannot find anywhere to turn dark mode back on (which I have no idea why it turned off in the first place).
