Dropbox still hasn't got it's act together for an M1 client

That stinks, Dropbox is essential to my work. Does it run with Rosetta2? I'm waiting for a 16in MBP announcement, so I was hoping more things would be working for M1 by then. Dropbox and Adobe programs being my entire workflow, if they don't run native then not a lot of reason to move to M1 right now.

Dropbox works fine under Rosetta2, no issues whatsoever.

Can't understand why Teams take so long time to get m1 native support.

Because it's from Microsoft. Knowing this company since 1990 I am not surprised. I am sure they will release an M1 client at some point, but their Electron app has a lot of issues on all platforms anyway. I wouldn't hold my breath that the M1 compatible Teams client will be any good.

Dropbox works perfectly on the M1 in its current version. A native version will be welcomed, but it definitely works fine as-is and doesn't bog the system down at all.

Considering there is a Windows ARM version of the app, I don't understand why it's so difficult.

I would argue with that last sentence – Dropbox has *always* bogged down the system from a background usage and battery drain perspective. I've done a bunch of tests and my MBA M1's battery life takes a substantial hit if I leave Dropbox running all of the time.

While I've not done any A-B tests, for me, CPU usage is almost nil unless it's actively syncing, and battery life is as Apple advertises, so I've never felt the need to quit Dropbox. Runs full time for me.

I always open dropbox once a day to sync everything up. I agree that it's better to quit it and sync once a day.

Just heard in a podcast interview with Simon Peton Jones that Microsoft has spent the last few years adding functional programming tools to Excel. Coming soon excel will have lambda calculus. This makes it Turing complete and you can program anything you could be bothered in it. This will be massive. Hard to estimate just what a change in computing for many people this will bring.

I almost forgive M$ some of their sins for doing this.

That’s fine if you aren’t sharing files with an active workgroup. Otherwise your gonna get duplicate files and have to sort out the version control issues.

Why? If they wanted they could have learned programming. Using Excel just to code is kinda backwards

Having the ability to program in Excel is extremely powerful, you don't want to load data into a database and develop a program just for one file or dataset, it's not not possible.

Listen to the interview, it’s not about replacing programming with Excel. It’s about making Excel stink way less. And it’s about coders who can deploy workbooks for non-coders that stink way less. I think it’s going to be huge.

If Excel only got definable datatypes and type safety it would be a
massive improvement. nut to
get lambda also is big. sometimes people are forced to use spreadsheets bc they cant code and/or norms in the work place. SPJ said Excel as he imagines it as a FP environment would be his second favourite programming language.

Any further news on an AS/Universal version? I'm currently using Synology Drive to sync files, but I think I'm going to go back to Dropbox.
