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?

Hi guys, happy Monday!
At the moment you can't activate dark mode when using the Paper app. As for the Dropbox app, you can change the mode, based on your mobile's settings.
If you need anything else, let me know.

Right now im on version 146.3.4820 which is the newest and I can't access it on my Mac. Even when my dark mode is systemwide enabled in my system preferences

Megan and Emmet Your stories are different. Is there dark mode or not? This has been marked as delivered yet no one can find any setting to enable this. I see dark mode on the dropbox iOS mobile app, but that's it. Paper has had dark mode for a while in the browser. The desktop app seems no longer (I don't know why), so I can't speak on that. But Dropbox itself in the browser seems to have no dark mode. Why does dropbox make such a simple thing so dang confusing?

marsbars: As per my previous response, and Megan's response, Dark mode is currently available on all version's of Dropbox, and for Paper on Dropbox.com.
If you haven’t seen dark mode yet, you can activate it like you can on Paper. Go to the bottom right of Dropbox.com, click the arrow and then click the cog for Settings. You should be able to see the option to toggle dark mode there.

Same for me. Can't see it anywhere. Also on the Desktop Mac app. There is no available Darkmode for me

EmilRueegg You have an actual Dropbox app? Mine is just in the Finder.
- EmilRueeggExplorer | Level 3
yes not really an actual app like the one from some months ago but the dropdown menu from the menubar. It should be in dark mode as the dropbox employees are telling us

Bottom right on dropbox.com looks like this for me. I don't see the arrow that Emmet is referring to either. I also notice I am on version 145.4.4921. There's a version 146.xxx now? That should auto-update, no?
- EmilRueeggExplorer | Level 3
Yes it should auto update. Close Dropbox complete wait a few minutes and reopen. Schon be updated then
