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.
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?
Looks like dropbox developers just don`t care about dark mode. They are falling behind in development. I think it`s too bad thay can`t figure it out, like all other app.
What is it with Dropbox and the focus on usabillity and minimalistic concistency through all your apps, on all platforms? Your Paper app offers darkmode on macOS desktop and in the browser, but it's all bright white on iOS. And, your main app is dark on iOS, but than again, white on the web and the desktop. Paper offers custom ordening of the leftside menu on macOS, but it still lacks this (synchronized) support in the browser. Pff... we're paying almost 20 euros per month per user for a minimal(istic) (set of) application(s). Is that base so hard to maintain? And yes, I still find Dropbox one of the best solutions for the storage, management and sharing of files... but what happened to your user-centric approach from the early days?
Very well said. It does seem that they have deviated from their core approach at times.
Coming from an android & Linux user I feel your frustration! Still having about the same problem myself
Focusing on making more money and not useability. I've switched to Joplin for now and I'm loving it.
White screens were old 3 years ago. Joplin has 5 different screen themes, and it's Free.
Surely this isn't so difficult to do ??! Really need to be able to set the thing to a darker background. Especially the popup window on the system tray icon. The writing on that popup is too thin as well and barely readable against the white. Come on dropbox guys, please get your act together - it isn't an enormous set of UI elements to modify, now , is it ?!
I am still 100% waiting! I mean it's their app, a couple of hex codes and the background & font at the very least is changed! I really don't get the hold up! First I was away from technology for 8 months, came back and both my Dropbox accounts were gone! I had to remake them. But years of files & documents gone, pissed me off (I mean it was my fault ultimately) but still.
All we are asking for is a dark background & a light enough to read font!
There does seem to be a frustratingly long silence from Dropbox. There at least used to be some imput or comments from them on the eventual role out of this (and several other long overdue) features. For the first time I'm beginnig to contemplate a future without Dropbox. Not a road I'm anxious to go down.
On Android the latest version of Dropbox 202.2.2 you can choose between light theme or dark theme in settings
