Dropbox Beta Mac
How to update to the latest version of the desktop app
If you want to manually update to the latest stable version of the Dropbox desktop app, you can get it from our download page or our install page (for Linux users).
Install Dropbox
DropBox will limit you to 2GB of free online storage (and you can purchase more, if required) and is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Note that this is the 'Beta Build' which Dropbox release to forum members for testing. Dropbox Passwords autofills your usernames and passwords for instant access to your favorite websites and apps. You can sign in from anywhere with apps available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
How to see which version of the Dropbox desktop app you're running
- The 9to5Mac team has discovered that the latest Dropbox beta for Mac (sadly, not easy to grab) has the option of syncing your desktop, Documents and Downloads. The move comes just weeks after.
- Dropbox offers Beta Services in order to get user feedback. In exchange for using Beta Services, Customer Agrees that Dropbox may contact Customer and its End Users to obtain feedback regarding Beta Services.
- I won't be renewing dropbox. You guys have forgotten about your core audiency (people who want an online file backup system) for too long with all your crappy office apps integration thingies. But then not supporting ARM Mac with a Beta on Day 1 is pathetic and the last straw I needed to cancel after years.
There are two ways to see which version of the Dropbox desktop app you’re currently running on your computer.
Dropbox Beta Mac Os
On macOS and Windows, you can simply hover your mouse pointer over the Dropbox icon in the system tray or menu bar. Linux, macOS, and Windows users can also follow the instructions below:
- Click the Dropbox icon in the system tray or menu bar.
- Click your profile picture or initials.
- Click Preferences.
- Open the General tab.
Can I disable auto-updates?
Like many programs and applications, Dropbox may automatically update to the latest version. These updates are rolled out gradually after a new update is available, and are necessary to keep the desktop app functioning.
Dropbox Free
You cannot disable or turn off auto-updates.
These updates ensure you’re running the most up-to-date version of Dropbox, which often has performance and security enhancements. And if Dropbox can't keep itself up-to-date, some features may stop working. For example, the app may stop syncing.
Notes about auto-updates:
Dropbox Mac Download
- If Dropbox software is installed on your computer, it will update regardless of whether you installed it or the application came preloaded by the device manufacturer
- The proxy settings you add using these steps aren't used to update the Dropbox app
- Dropbox uses your operating system network settings to apply auto-updates
