This happened to me yesterday as well. Version 29.4.20 on Win10 x64. DbxSvc service is totally spamming the Application event log with one log entry each second. Tried to uninstalled Dropbox, then reinstalled it and also rebooted numerous times but the problem still exists! I stopped the service and set it Manual start. Dropbox seems to sync and work just fine without it. However, I guess the problem will come back when the next update gets installed.
Please fix this very annoying bug ASAP!
Yeah I've done exactly the same thing; set the Dbxsvc service to manual start as well to stop the spamming of the Application log. I need to be able to identify a problem without having to scroll through hundreds of repeating messages from Dbxsvc! I wish I never upgraded . . .
I wonder if going back to "Stable Build 28.4.14" and disable updates will change anything?
Same here on Windows 7 with 29.4.20.
The event log is full with this message:
Failed to connect to the driver: -2147024894, retrying in 1000 milliseconds
Provider: DbxSvc
EventID: 320
