Hello - how would I know if I'm running the Apple M1 version of Dropbox? This is the current version I have and already opted in to
early releases and waited a day. I believe I'm running the M1 Dropbox app now since Dropbox restarted and from a visual standpoint I see that the green checkmarks for synced files are now darker green as opposed to lighter green before.
You can see which version you're running in the activity monitor. Just add the "kind" column:
Another way is to show the info window (right click the application -> Get Info) for the application:
Activity Monitor shows each process as Apple or Intel in the "Kind" column.
The "Kind" column is not checked by default.
Turn it on in menubar > View > Columns.
Thank you both! Very helpful and now I can see which other apps are running natively or not.
One thing I noticed is that while the Dropbox background app runs natively now, the app via the icon is not. Meaning that when I click on "Get Info" for the app in Finder it reads that it's Intel:
But the background task of Dropbox that operates behind the scenes reads the kind as "Apple"
To investigate further I learned about looking through "System Information" to check the kind of all apps on my Mac. Dropbox shows up twice - once as Apple Silicon and the other as Intel:
How can I clean this up?
Actually, I am on 141.3.3144 as of this morning, and all my processes now show intel not Apple Silicon - and I am on an M1 Max MacBook Pro; what's going on?:
