Dark Mode for Dropbox on Desktop

Hello Everybody!
 
I have created this thread to provide updates on Dark Mode for Dropbox on Desktop. We are closing off the longer thread for general Dark Mode requests so that we can provide our community with updates for specific products, and so that requests don't get lost.
 
At the time of posting, our team is looking into Dark Mode for Desktop, but cannot provide a time frame for implementation. You can vote for this idea and comment here to show your support. I will update the status of this idea when we know more!
 
Regards,
Ben

    Our team is currently investigating this idea! While we do not have a time frame for implementation, we will update this thread when we have an update.

    Dropbox has been trying to figure this out for over 4 years. I thought Dropbox was a tech company. what a joke.

    This is taking a really, really long time guys... it does not inspire confidence in your product. Lots of people still use desktops and this website. Many other companies have leapt ahead of Dropbox.

    Dark Mode is an important accessibility requirement. I have a vision impairment which makes it a necessity. MacOS apps ought to respect the OS-level theme setting.

    I just found out why drop box is taking so long to implement dark mode. They're restricting it to people who pay for a plan. Free users don't get it.

    You sure about that? I pay for DB and I don't have dark mode.

    Yeah, i just did a 30 day free trial of their Essentials plan to move a large file and things were dark. When i canceled it things went white again.

    on the web? i see no setting to change form light to dark. and on Mac OS, even their menu bar icon that drops down doesn't follow light/dark settings on the Mac, it is always light.

    Yeah even on the settings page itself there is just no option to change the light/dark theme.
