(And agree the responses in the support thread were not ideal - no need to upvote for this one □)ĭropbox confirmed the Apple M1 app project in a statement to SlashGear, noting that the community forum thread regarding the native support was a mistake:ĭropbox currently supports Apple M1 through Rosetta. We've been working for a while on a native M1 build which we aim to release in H1 2022. We're certainly supporting Apple Silicon, sorry for the confusion. The lack of transparency regarding this effort, as well as the recent attention brought to the community thread, may make this a “too little, too late” moment for the company, which isn’t planning to make its native app available until sometime in the first half of 2022. The support thread included posts from company representatives who were apparently unaware of Dropbox’s existing M1 app project, leading to official responses like, “This idea is going to need a bit more support before we share your suggestion with our team.” As expected, the suggestion that native app support for Apple M1 wasn’t a priority pushed many already-frustrated users over the edge, with some talking about ditching the company for an alternative cloud storage provider.ĭropbox CEO Drew Houston clarified things in a tweet today, revealing the company has been working on a native app for M1 Macs and that it plans to release it in the relatively near future. Honestly, didn't think the reason to switch after 12 years of paid sub would be this but this might be it.

The official responses in this thread are embarrassing. Dropbox doesn't support Apple Silicon natively yet and has no current public plans to.
