The project’s main goal is to provide a client for platforms and file systems that are no longer directly supported by Dropbox. Maestral is an open-source Dropbox client written in Python. Only drawback is it doesn’t sync xattrs, which doesn’t affect my usage. ~7x less RAM, ~10x less disk space, doesn’t burn 100% CPU during Xcode unzips. I switched to maestral.app a few weeks back and couldn’t be happier. Had enough with the Dropbox Mac app? Me too. For speed, simplicity, and less bullshit.
Fully installed Box, G Drive, One Drive, and tried iCloud Drive. It shouldn’t surprise anybody that Apple doesn’t really want companies making kexts anymoreĪpple wants apps to use the new File Provider extension API instead, but from what I’ve heard it’s limited and unreliable. There are technical issues & negotiations at play. In a reply on Twitter, Dropbox founder and CEO Drew Houston apologized for the confusion sparked by the “not ideal” support responses and said that Dropbox is “certainly supporting Apple silicon” with a native Apple silicon build planned for release in the first half of next year. There are also multiple repetitious requests with different phrasing, fragmenting users’ votes for support. Dropbox is seemingly insisting that a significant number of community members will have to vote for native Apple silicon support for it to be implemented. An official Dropbox support thread, shared by Mitchell Hashimoto on Twitter, reveals a fiasco around native support for Apple silicon Macs.
