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.

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.
Actually the votes are BS...they have yet to implement the most requested feature ...Ignore folder (without selective sync)...has been on the forum since 2014!
I posted in this thread about a month ago...it was not a hollow threat that my company would switch off of Dropbox. Because they have not even hinted at supporting Apple Silicon natively anytime soon, my company is moving off of them very soon. OneDrive is not an option because of the Microsoft's stupid folder/file naming restrictions (we are not going to rename/reorg a ton of files so Microsoft can index them in Sharepoint). We have been using Box for the past month as an alternative (they have been very helpful in guiding us away from Dropbox). We will miss Smart Sync, but the overall cost is about the same if not less (for more enterprise features) and the native Apple Silicon support is now pretty solid. Even our Windows users are looking forward to this switch because Dropbox on Windows is a resource hog as well.
