This is an early release feature that is subject to these additional terms.
Finally!! Offline Installer (Apple Silicon)
Just tried it with my MacBook Pro 16" M1 Pro and can confirm that Dropbox now runs as Apple Silicon version.
Update: You can even download previous beta versions by appending "&arch=arm64" to the download URL.

matism its just a shame however that Dropbox dont feel like they should publish that huge (and much delayed!) update as part of its change log 😞
clientreleases DropboxAsh its shameful
Can you confirm which build you used? Universal or offline installer for ARM?
I used the offline installer for Apple Silicon.
Just acquire a MacBook Air M2 and I have problem to install DropBox
What do I do? I really depend on DropBox for everything
The thread you have posted is a very old version 140.3.1903, so I assume that is what you have tried to install.
Try installing latest version:
Better late than never for M1 support 😜
I tried again installing this release (both downloads) on Windows 11 running under Parallels on an M1 Max Macbook, and it says "Incompatible device". It's Windows - this is the only app that does not run on Windows 11 ARM! When will this be available?
I uninstalled Intel Dropbox from my M1 Mac, then ran the offline installer for this M1 beta. It seems to run the Apple version but then I see it quit out and open an Intel version (according to Activity Monitor). I also see that the version that ultimately runs is not the same as the beta version number that I downloaded. Any ideas?
 
I tried the offline m1 installer on my m1 mac and when I went to log in it said to download the newer version of dropbox. what version?
The most current Dropbox installer is a Universal app and not specific to M1. Just goto https://www.dropbox.com/install
Thanks! I'll try that. One description I was reading said to use the other one, but that advice is probably out of date.
