Dark mode switch is missing on the Dropbox website

Hello,

could you please add an option to disable Dark mode on Dropbox website? Is highly unusable for my eyesight. My system has dark mode on but most of apps have a switch to enable or disable it regardless system settings.  I prefer some apps with dark mode and some without it. Please add an option to disable this on dropbox. Turning off in system settings is not an option.

  • Hey uaknight - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Out of curiosity, could you clear your browser's cache and/or try another browser as well, preferably with no extensions or plugins running and let us know how it goes?

     

    Thanks so much!

    Something seems to have changed recently because Dark Mode in browser, seems to have disappeared and i am BLINDED but the bright UI. I can turn on Dark Mode when i go to my settings but it doesn't seem to apply, and anywhere else the option is missing

        Simon,

        As of right now, it appears to be fixed! Theme option is now available on the main page and when I reloaded the page, it loaded back into dark mode automatically. Thanks!

      Can you please clear your browser's cache and/or try another browser, preferably with no extensions or plugins running, and let us know if you get the same results?

        I tried all of this as well this morning, after noticing yesterday that the dark mode has vanished from the main page, but activates when I go to settings and the theme option is available, but only while in settings, not on the main page. Something changed yesterday afternoon in eastern time. Please fix! It's so hard to view the site now.

      I had to use "Stylebot" extension to change the color intensity of file list. After that change it feels better to use.
      This is really disappointing that you can't make a simple switch to feel users comfortable when using dropbox.

    It should now be resolved for all users. Great to hear some of you mentioning that you see it again. Please let me know if not. Thanks again for raising this to our attention!

    It's working for me on the settings screen but not on the home page. What I mean is that the Theme option in the profile pic dropdown is missing when I'm on the home page. When I'm on the settings page, it's there. If I click and change the theme then it changes, but only as long as I remain on the settings screen. If I navigate back to the home page, it's still in light mode and no Theme option in the dropdown.

    Can you please investigate this?

    The issue remains, even if I log out and login again. Even on different computers. Testing with Chrome. I'm on a paid plan.

    Regards,
    Ulf

        Hi Walter, thanks for the quick response!
        Clearing the cache helped. Long time since I last did it so probably much needed anyway. 😊
