High CPU Usage after updating MacBook Pro to MacOS Monterey (12.3)
I installed the latest MacOS update (Monterey 12.3) on my MacBook pro last night and now Dropbox is almost continuously syncing files and sucking my CPU usage. Fans are running almost constantly, and...
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!

Same issue. Dropbox is draining my battery
Same here. Support ticket opened.
I have had this issue since the 12.3 update. Dropbox is essentially unusable on my work machine, because even when not syncing it maintains 99% on at least 1 core in activity monitor. I have excluded 100% of my workplace share folders in hope to be able to access my personal files, but I have to leave the agent off until I can leave the room. Once it's on the fan is at 100% even when it's doing nothing.
Let me point out that I have been subscribed with a Pro account personally since 2011. I use dropbox on M1 macs, a Mac Pro and linux systems and have never had more than a nuisance type issue with syncing. The current state is unacceptable.

Same problem here, it keeps re-starting the sync process several times a day reaching 200%+ of CPU.
Megan, I'm running a 16-inch 2021 MBP w/M1 Pro cpu and since switching to the beta version of DropBox I haven't experienced any issues.
