For Dropbox and M1 Macs users

Not a whole lot of useful info, but this may be of interest to those of you who use both M1 Macs and Dropbox for web developing (read comments as well…).

Interesting. Like someone commenting, I tried all the alternatives but went back to a paid DB account as quite simply, nothing else works. iCloud was a disaster.

But, while DB works fine on my Intel iMac and M1 Mini it’s horrible on my Intel MBA: it can take ten minutes to sync 5MB’s of files. Then sometimes says it’s sync’d when it’s not.

I’ll do some more reading on maestral. Thanks

Do you think the difference in speed is (in my case) because iMac and imini are wired and mbp communicates via wifi?
