    Hi Everybody,

     

    I spoke with our engineering team to confirm that this issue was resolved. I'm following up with this thread to confirm that high CPU usage is no longer a problem for any users. Ensure your MacOS and Dropbox are up to date, and please let us know if this is still affecting you. Thanks!

     

    Regards,

    Ben

Same problem here. This is an ongoing problem, not a new one. Hopefully Dropbox will find a fix – we are thinking of changing to a different data storage solution

    I don't know if it would help but is your outgoing transfer speed slowed?

     

    If you go into Bandwidth | Upload is normally throttled as a default.

     

    I always set that to full speed for other sync reasons but if you typically have a bunch of files on the Air to be synced with the cloud it might cause high CPU as the Air is restricted in upload speed.
