It seems you're using the Beta version of our app, which could be causing a higher usage of CPU.
Go into your account settings on the Dropbox website and turn Early releases off.
After that, install one of the stable builds of the Dropbox application.

I did the following:
1) Turned off Early Releases on dropbox.com
2) Logged out of my DB account on the desktop app
3) Uninstalled and deleted the app
4) Restarted the computer
5) Downloaded and installed the latest (non-beta) version of the Dropbox App (v.125.4.3474)
6) Logged into my accounts and turned on SmartSync (local only)
7) Waited for everything to sync and the DB Desktop app to show is 'Up to Date' with green check box
Everything now seemed to be fixed!! Thank you!

I'm having some compatibility issues as well with my IMac /Big Sur 11.4 and DropBox desktop app.
I did get a "text file message.. I believe this is also causing my safari to crash.
Do you know if there's a fix ?
