Dropbox corrects its course by reducing its App to the minimum expression and optimizing it for Apple Silicon chips

drop box, one of the most popular cloud storage services, learned the lesson. Over the past few years, his application had changed into something completely useless: his own file explorer that complicated things and caused confusion for the general user. Now they will return to focus on what propelled them to success: be part of the Finder.

Go back to the origins to convince again

Here is the statement that Dropbox posted on its official support website:

Starting January 17, 2022, the Dropbox desktop app will only support File Explorer and Taskbar on Windows, and Finder and Menubar on Mac.

You’ll also be able to save, view, share and access files on dropbox.com and the latest apps for iOS and Android.

In other words, Dropbox will shrink to just another Finder folder on our Macs. Over time, many users I talk to in my experiences as a trainer they had complained about the unnecessary complexity of the situation the client, and this must have resulted in a reduction in the number of active users.

A single application to dominate them all: so we can use Dropbox, Google Drive and others directly in the Files application on our iPhone or iPad

Added to this is another good news: this customer will become native for Macs with the Apple Silicon chip. This version has been in development for some time and has moved from available to a closed group of beta testers To the whole community. This should improve the app’s performance and power consumption. Dropbox’s final stable release for the M1 chip family is expected to be available later this year.
