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.

Hi everyone,
We’re testing native Apple Silicon support with a limited number of users and plan to open the Beta to all users by the end of the month.

Update:
Starting today, native Apple silicon support is available in beta to all users. Users interested in accessing the beta can visit the Dropbox Help Center for more details.
Do I understand correctly that I cannot test the Apple Silicon version on my M1 Macs without exposing my other Macs to beta software? The switch seems to be available only at the user level.
In my Dropbox client (v.139.4.4896, macOS 12.1), I am not getting the option to install betas in my Preferences > General settings, anyone else? How to fix this?
Oops, I just discovered a post by Fabio L. on the previous page of posts that links to the latest beta installer, so I imagine it is necessary to install that first:
https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-140-3-1852/td-p/568174
I activated the option to receive betas from day one, but so far no support for the M1 here. I've restarted the app, the machine and nothing. And now, what's the solution?

Hi paulinhobrizola, hope it’s alright to jump in here.
Can you please toggle the setting for the early releases to off and then back on?
After that, try to install the app via our offline installer instead.
Let me know if there’s any difference!
DBXCommunity that is good news. I don't know enough of computers, but when the beta version is working and it is no longer a beta version, how do I get the update for my macbook pro Apple Silicon (M1)? How does this work? Because now it is working with Rosetta. How do I go form this version to the other version in the future? Thanks for your help.
