v142.3.4187 Native M1 Silicon?
I entered the Beta program to get Dropbox into Native M1, but I see that the latest Beta version is still running under Rosetta (Intel).
Is there any outlook on full M1 silicon support without Rose...
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.
Adrie ten Bookum The Apple Silicon beta has had, and continues to have, so many problems that I suspect they are being very cautious about doing automatic roll-outs. You can install it directly by downloading an installer →HERE← but I'd wait (I wish I had) or, at most, only test it out on a non-critical machine. Many the problems are still unresolved.
Thx for the quick reply.
If there are many problems, I rather wait as I do not want to induce other problems while trying to sort the current.
Any know issues with the version I am running that you know of?Thx in advance
- The Intel version is rock solid, as it has been for years. It was that very reliability that led me to infer (badly, it turned out) that they wouldn’t unleash a crap Apple Silicon beta on their users. But I ignored the early warning signs: they responded with dismissive condescension to requests for a native app from M1 owners. I don’t necessarily want to blame the coders here. Could well be that it was a bungled CYA management decision to push out a half-baked alpha and call it a beta against the better judgment of the programmers.
Whatever the root cause, they need clearly more time for M1.
Now I know that the intel version is solid, I will focus on other apps to see if I can nail down the instability of my MB-air M1.Thx so far.
