    Hi, that's Volodymyr from MacPaw, company that developed CleanMyMac app. 

     

    Thanks for contacting us on that, we've located what exactly causing that and fixed that. So with the upcoming update of the app this will be fixed. 

     

    Have a great day! 

     

    Regards,

    Volodymyr

Hey faustlaw, 

 

Thank you for getting in touch with us in our Community channel!

 

Can you please make sure that you are running the latest stable version of the application and that you have not Symlinked other applications to point to the Dropbox folder? 

 

 

If your mac OS keeps syncing/ re-indexing, please let me know here. 

 

Kind regards, 

JaneA
