\"The
Apple, Dropbox<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Before now, Dropbox was one of the worst cloud storage applications to run on an M1 Mac. It didn\u2019t offer native Apple Silicon support, so it wasted system resources, gobbled RAM, and burned through battery life<\/a>. But just as Dropbox promised, its latest app beta finally is finally optimized for M1 Macs.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve installed the Dropbox Beta Build (version 140.3.1903) and can confirm that it offers native Apple Silicon support. Installing this beta is easy\u2014just visit Dropbox\u2019s latest Beta Build page<\/a> and select the macOS X installer (which also works on macOS 11 and 12, don\u2019t worry).<\/p>\n

This installer will automatically replace whatever version of Dropbox you\u2019re running on your Mac. Still, I suggest checking that the beta installed correctly. Expand the Dropbox icon in your Menu Bar, click your profile photo, and select Preferences. Then, check \u201cAbout Dropbox\u201d for your version number. You should be running Dropbox v140.3.1903 or later.<\/p>\n

If you want to double-check that Dropbox is running natively<\/a>, click the Apple icon on the left side of your Menu Bar and select About This Mac. Then, click System Report, navigate to the Applications tab, and search for Dropbox. The words \u201cApple Silicon\u201d should appear on the far-right column.<\/p>\n

Again, Dropbox with native Apple Silicon support should use less system resources and burn through less battery than the old Dropbox app. Just bear in mind that this is a beta app, and as such, it may be a bit unstable.<\/p>\n
