Apple Silicon (M1) Desktop Sync Compatibility
Please can you upgrade the Dropbox app so that it works natively on Apple Silicon Macs (M1) without Rosetta.
Rosetta is not an option as it annihilates the battery.
This may be a duplicat...
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.
Almost a year after the introduction of Apple Silicon Macs, Dropbox remains one of the very few major software suppliers on my MacMini M1 that doesn't have an Apple Silicon Native or Universal install. It is still Intel based, using Rosetta to function. It does work, but as a result is now my biggest CPU hog. Adobe CS, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome... But also many many smaller software vendors have a native install. So what are you waiting for, Dropbox? Thanks!
Just FYI, there's already https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-ideas/Apple-Silicon-M1-Desktop-Sync-Compatibility/idi-p/527743 about the same thing which has been ignored as well.
