Can we all take a moment to discuss how Dropbox, the publicly-traded company with a 1b market cap, still doesn't have a native m1 client for MacOS?
Does anyone have insight on what's taking them so long? I assume they forked an older version of Electron that doesn't support m1.
- gwbas1c 5y agoThe new Dropbox client is written in Rust. You can't build a file sync client with Electron. You need very granular filesystem access, which is something that Electron does poorly.
- coreyward 5y agoRust got M1 support in November, 2020. There are many other Rust apps that work on M1. This isn't a viable excuse for a publicly traded behemoth that keeps taking on new verticals while ignoring the one feature users care about.
