Dropbox has announced that Mac users can now enjoy native support for Apple Silicon.

The company was widely criticized last year for failing to release an updated app for Apple's new Macs. With the release of Stable Build 143.4.4161, that issue has been resolved.

Dropbox natively supports Mac computers with Apple silicon (M1), leveraging its improved performance and efficiency to run seamlessly on your Mac device. All users with Apple silicon devices will receive the native version of Dropbox automatically.



All users with Apple silicon devices should receive the native version of Dropbox automatically. If this doesn’t happen, you can click on the latest stable build and manually download the Offline Installer (Apple silicon) file.

To determine if Dropbox is running on Apple silicon (M1):
● Press Command + the spacebar on your Mac keyboard to launch Spotlight search.
● Search for Activity Monitor.
● On the drop-down menu that appears, click Activity Monitor.
● Click the CPU tab at the top of the window.
● Locate Dropbox under Process Name.
● Locate the column labeled Kind.
○ If the value for this column reads Apple, Dropbox is running natively on Apple silicon (M1).
