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?

I m blind because of Dropbox not supporting dark mode : D

I am surprised that this doesn't have more votes. I recently bought a larger widescreen monitor; it's like staring into the sun! I am now using google chrome dark mode addons but none of them look that good.

Yes, I've signed into this in order to add to the people requesting dark mode. I use Dropbox for less than 100GB, so I appreciate the service over competitors, but I definitely expected dark mode by now. Please add dark mode to the Android app.
EDIT: You can enable dark mode on multiple apps on Android 10 by enabling "Override force-dark" in "Developer options" found under the "Hardware Accelerated Rendering" header on a Pixel 3. Other Android phones may have slightly different layouts for Developer options, but should work if they are running Android 10 or higher.
"Developer options" is a hidden set of options on Android phones. You can enable "Developer options" by finding the option labeled "Build number" and tapping it 7 times. This enables the options. The "Developer options" setting is found in the "About phone" settings for a Pixel 3. "About phone" is located under "System" for some Android phones

Do some users have dark mode? Just watched a video (link below) and at the 6:30 mark he switches a paper doc into dark mode? I don't seem to have that option. Sup wit dat?

Good catch Bob R.4!

Please let this become a reality, we need dark mode across all of Dropbox.com, the desktop app and mobile apps.

Take a look at these screenshots. They come stright from Dropbox Paper. If you have a paper doc and click ... , then present dark mode is located in the top right. We know you can do it, we just need it across the website, Desktop app and mobile app.

Would be a good time to get this implemented ASAP
- DaniWDHelpful | Level 5I also consider dark mode a must-have feature.
