Hello,
could you please add an option to disable Dark mode on Dropbox website? Is highly unusable for my eyesight. My system has dark mode on but most of apps have a switch to enable or disable it regardless system settings. I prefer some apps with dark mode and some without it. Please add an option to disable this on dropbox. Turning off in system settings is not an option.
Hey @uaknight - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Out of curiosity, could you clear your browser's cache and/or try another browser as well, preferably with no extensions or plugins running and let us know how it goes?
Thanks so much!

I had to use "Stylebot" extension to change the color intensity of file list. After that change it feels better to use.
This is really disappointing that you can't make a simple switch to feel users comfortable when using dropbox.
Something seems to have changed recently because Dark Mode in browser, seems to have disappeared and i am BLINDED but the bright UI. I can turn on Dark Mode when i go to my settings but it doesn't seem to apply, and anywhere else the option is missing

It's working for me on the settings screen but not on the home page. What I mean is that the Theme option in the profile pic dropdown is missing when I'm on the home page. When I'm on the settings page, it's there. If I click and change the theme then it changes, but only as long as I remain on the settings screen. If I navigate back to the home page, it's still in light mode and no Theme option in the dropdown.
Can you please investigate this?
The issue remains, even if I log out and login again. Even on different computers. Testing with Chrome. I'm on a paid plan.

Ulf
I tried all of this as well this morning, after noticing yesterday that the dark mode has vanished from the main page, but activates when I go to settings and the theme option is available, but only while in settings, not on the main page. Something changed yesterday afternoon in eastern time. Please fix! It's so hard to view the site now.
Mine as well. It was in dark mode and this morning when I opened it, I'm blinded by the light! Wish they'd let us know if this could be fixed, and why does it just do this all on its own??
Add me to this list. Mine was working just fine earlier yesterday, now the only page that's in dark mode is the settings page. All other pages are blinding white and I also cannot find anywhere to turn dark mode back on (which I have no idea why it turned off in the first place).
Hi, I work on the Dropbox team. Thanks for flagging this bug! We're aware and are working on a solution. Apologies for the disruption.
