Hi Everybody,
 
We love to see our users engaging here on the community! This enthusiasm has made this thread grow into something bigger than we could have anticipated. In order to create the best experience here on the community, I have started a few new Ideas posts so that we can provide updates on Dark Mode by product rather than having one thread addressing multiple products.
 
We value your ideas on the community. All of the comments and likes show us how valuable features like Dark Mode are to our users. We can point to this enthusiasm when we highlight feature requests to our various teams. You all have helped us deliver Dark Mode on Paper and Mobile.
 
To sum up the current status: Dark Mode is currently available on Paper and Mobile (iOS/Android). Dark mode is currently not available on Desktop, Web, and Paper for Mobile. You can find a short update and a link to the new, dedicated threads below.
 
Desktop
The current status for Desktop is “Investigating.” The idea post can be found here. At this time, we are actively looking into improving the Desktop experience, including implementation of Dark Mode. There is no confirmed time frame. We will update the linked thread when we know more.
 
Web
The current status for Dark Mode on Web is also “Investigating.” The idea post can be found here. The Web team is actively looking into implementing Dark Mode, but we do not currently have a confirmed time frame. We will update the linked thread when we have more information.
 
Paper for Mobile
An existing thread for this idea can be found here. The status for Dark Mode for Paper for Mobile is Not For Right Now. This means that it is not currently being considered. You can share your support by liking and commenting this idea via the link provided!
 
If I missed a platform or product where you would like to see Dark Mode, please share your idea here. We have also compiled a few tips for posting a great idea.
 
Thanks for being a part of the Dropbox Community!
