Request for Dark Mode for the Website and the Desktop (including Paper)
I nearly go blind every time I open dropbox, how can you guys have been around so long yet you still don't have a simple toggle to change the CSS style to a darker color to not blind your users?
Seriously. Can we please get a night mode?

I think it's safe to say it is never going to happen. I've been on this thread (and several others) for several years now and not a single thing has moved forward on any of them. It's very disappointing but they must know what they're doing.

I bet there is one idiot with a considerable amount of influence at Dropbox who doesn't use dark mode and insists that nobody else should either. That is the only logical explanation of why they haven't rolled it out yet.
Please upvote this so that one idiot sees it and realizes how much of an idiot he/she/it/them/they is.

Love to think it was that simple. Absolutely on board with repeated upvoting but the fact that Paper has not been integrated into Dropbox after so many years of hearing from them that "It's imminent" and the fact that they've done absolutely nothing on Dark Mode tells me they are putting their efforts and resources in different directions.
I fear we are yelling into a void, and we are the only ones listening. - KENYONHelpful | Level 7
you're right, Rob. they're focused on something else we probably don't want/need and we're wasting our time typing into this dead end forum.

At least we know we're not alone in our frustration... so there's that. Cheers.

+1 for Dark Mode 👍

While many people certainly could benefit from the universally accepted feature, I fear only a handful either know about or care enough to participate in the upvoting process. As with many feature requests in Dropbox, it appears to be a lost cause. But we can certainly keep fighting the good fight and talk amongst ourselves in the forum. Cheers.

True ^^^
I was actually searching for Dropbox Help documentation on how to enable Dark Mode (in case I was missing something in the UI) and I stumbled across the Dropbox Community.
I'm actually surprised that Dropbox didn't take the initiative to implement "Dark Mode" themselves - independent of Community feature requests and customers. Implementing dark mode is a clear industry trend that is being pushed aggressively by designers to keep the UI / UX fresh, fashionable and up-to-date.

I think they are just ignoring us out of spite at this point
