Surprisingly, it was not until January 2022 that Mac users with M1-series processors got the opportunity to install the native version of Dropbox – at that time in test mode . Previously, users had to rely on an Intel application with Rosetta emulation, which significantly reduced laptop battery life.
Now, a stable build of Dropbox for Mac with M1 is finally available. The company notes that the app should update to the correct version automatically, and no reinstallation is required. If you have auto-updates turned off, you will need to install the update manually.
Earlier this month, Microsoft also announced that a native version of the regular OneDrive for Mac with M1 is coming soon. No exact timeline has been announced, but the update will be available in OneDrive build 22.022, which will be available to users “soon.”
