You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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?

Yeah so your last reply is great and all, but I noticed you said it is available for "All versions, and for PAPER on Dropbox.com"
What is it about the request that you all are not getting? We ALL want this to be available in the settings for ALL of Dropbox.com. A lot of us like using the website, and want it to have a Dark Mode as well. Why is this so hard? It is 2022. C'mon guys.
No lie, I have thought a couple of times over the years about buying a plan with you guys, and then I always come back to this. If you can't even get this simple task done that has so many users wanting it, why would I believe the product is overall quality? - Alexi H.Helpful | Level 6
I see dark mode in Paper but not in Files. Why not put the switch in "Settings" where everyone else puts such things?

Yes it should auto update. Close Dropbox complete wait a few minutes and reopen. Schon be updated then

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?

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

EmilRueegg You have an actual Dropbox app? Mine is just in the Finder.
- EmilRueeggExplorer | Level 3
Same for me. Can't see it anywhere. Also on the Desktop Mac app. There is no available Darkmode for me

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.
