Request for Dark Mode for the Website and the Desktop (including Paper)

[puf]

I nearly go blind every time I open dropbox, how can you guys have been around so long yet you still don't have a simple toggle to change the CSS style to a darker color to not blind your users?

Seriously. Can we please get a night mode?

We are closing this idea so that we can provide the Community with updates on Dark Mode by individual product. We hope this provides a better user experience as this thread has grown quite long. Thanks for all of your votes, comments and enthusiasm!

You can find more information at the end of this thread, or by clicking this link.

Dropbox needs a dark mode or night mode avalible across their suite of products and instances. Please let up see this in the near future.

I strongly agree with this, Dark/Night mode would be an amazing feature!

I m blind because of Dropbox not supporting dark mode : D

I am surprised that this doesn't have more votes. I recently bought a larger widescreen monitor; it's like staring into the sun! I am now using google chrome dark mode addons but none of them look that good.

Strongly agree! I would engage with this platform more instead of as a last resort if dark mode was available for at leastSndroid.

Yes, I've signed into this in order to add to the people requesting dark mode. I use Dropbox for less than 100GB, so I appreciate the service over competitors, but I definitely expected dark mode by now. Please add dark mode to the Android app.

EDIT: You can enable dark mode on multiple apps on Android 10 by enabling "Override force-dark" in "Developer options" found under the "Hardware Accelerated Rendering" header on a Pixel 3. Other Android phones may have slightly different layouts for Developer options, but should work if they are running Android 10 or higher.

"Developer options" is a hidden set of options on Android phones. You can enable "Developer options" by finding the option labeled "Build number" and tapping it 7 times. This enables the options. The "Developer options" setting is found in the "About phone" settings for a Pixel 3. "About phone" is located under "System" for some Android phones

Tap "Build number" 7 times to enable "Developer options"Enable "Override force-dark" found in "Developer options". Note: This will affect other apps as well, such as OneDrive.Dropbox should now have dark mode enable on Android phones

[AddisonMorris92]

Yes, please add dark mode to the Android app.

Good catch @Bob R.4!

Dropbox Paper presentation mode can be reverted to dark mode.
