The app re-indexes all files after each restart on Mac.

Each time I restart my Mac, Dropbox goes through reindexing of (seemingly) all files in my folder. The Mac's CPU usage goes up and the fan kicks in - it makes the computer slow for at least 15 minute...

Hey Nello Aun, thanks for posting here!

How long has the app been stuck syncing content? 

Also, it looks like you're using a beta version of our app at the moment. Can you try our stable version, to see if this improves things?

You can do this by going into your account settings on the Dropbox website and turning Early releases off. After that, install our stable build of the Dropbox application, and let me know how it goes.

Keep me posted!
