    Hi all,

    Native Apple silicon support is now fully available. All users with Apple silicon devices will receive the native version of Dropbox automatically. If you would like to update your device manually, you can do so by clicking on the latest Stable Build and downloading the Offline Installer (Apple Silicon) file. For more information, visit the Dropbox Help Center.

     

    If you need assistance with anything else, please feel free to create a new thread and our community team will be happy to assist.

They're disconnected from reality. This comment really nailed it for me:

Dropbox has jumped the shark a long time ago. Because of their blatant disregard for Apple Silicon users, I've stopped paying: I'm keeping my terabytes of data as a free read-only storage, and I've already started migrating to a different solution.
Interestingly, many of my personal and business contacts have jumped ship already, so I'm not even hampered in my efforts, as literally nobody is asking me to share via Dropbox anymore.

I'm sure there are excellent engineers stuck in a job where they have to satisfy the requirements of a totally derailed management which is more interested in the appropriate colors for their corporate image, than listening to what users are asking.

This is how ships sink.
