Finally!! Offline Installer (Apple Silicon)

Just tried it with my MacBook Pro 16" M1 Pro and can confirm that Dropbox now runs as Apple Silicon version.

Update: You can even download previous beta versions by appending "&arch=arm64" to the download URL.

@matism its just a shame however that Dropbox dont feel like they should publish that huge (and much delayed!) update as part of its change log 😞

@clientreleases @DropboxAsh its shameful

Can you confirm which build you used? Universal or offline installer for ARM?

matism

I used the offline installer for Apple Silicon.

Better late than never for M1 support 😜

I tried again installing this release (both downloads) on Windows 11 running under Parallels on an M1 Max Macbook, and it says "Incompatible device". It's Windows - this is the only app that does not run on Windows 11 ARM! When will this be available?

I uninstalled Intel Dropbox from my M1 Mac, then ran the offline installer for this M1 beta. It seems to run the Apple version but then I see it quit out and open an Intel version (according to Activity Monitor). I also see that the version that ultimately runs is not the same as the beta version number that I downloaded. Any ideas?

Same report as @itsgerrrd — was running an Apple version after I ran the installer, but this appears to have been silently replaced with an Intel version on my M1 Macbook Pro.

For me the same..
Still waiting for windows ARM support 😞

I tried the offline m1 installer on my m1 mac and when I went to log in it said to download the newer version of dropbox. what version?

Mark F.11

The most current Dropbox installer is a Universal app and not specific to M1. Just goto https://www.dropbox.com/install

jmugan

Thanks! I'll try that. One description I was reading said to use the other one, but that advice is probably out of date.

jmugan

No, that didn't work. I download and doubleclick and nothing happens.

Mark F.11

You can’t open a DMG file? Try powering down and back up. Try right click and open with DiskImageMounter.

jmugan

Weird. I tried all that. It does nothing.

Mark F.11

Assuming you can open up other DMG installers and only the Dropbox DMG is not opening, maybe try getting the full installer at https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?full=1&os=mac or try downloading from a different browser or device.

jmugan

That worked! thanks!

Just acquire a MacBook Air M2 and I have problem to install DropBox

What do I do? I really depend on DropBox for everything

The thread you have posted is a very old version 140.3.1903, so I assume that is what you have tried to install.

Try installing latest version:
