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'm surprised there are so many votes for dark mode and no option to schedule syncs. Noting that there have been comments regarding saving energy, surely having hourly or delayed syncs would be more energy-efficient rather than uploading a file every time it changes...?

    Congratulations, your idea has been delivered!
     
    Dark mode is now available for Dropbox, and Dropbox Paper on Dropbox.com. It is also available for the Dropbox app on desktop and mobile devices. If you haven’t seen dark mode yet, you can flip it on from the “?” menu on the bottom-right of any Paper doc. You can also turn on dark mode from your computer’s system preferences.
     
    Thanks for sharing your suggestion with us, we'd love to hear any more ideas you have!

    marsbars: At the moment, using the Dropbox desktop app, Paper docs are stored as web-based files and open on dropbox.com.

    Thank you for delivering this very important update to the Dropbox user experience. Unfortunately, it is not easy to find the controls for turning on "Dark mode" on the website or in the App. Hopefully, this will change in the near future.

    Same here. Checked that I have the latest version, restarted computer, checked all possible settings and preferences. I only see dark mode in the web version of Paper.
