High CPU usage even when not syncing or indexing
For the past couple of days, Dropbox has been consistently using around 30% of my CPU, when not syncing or indexing anything (i.e., the menu bar drop down says `Up to date`). Any idea why this might ...
I found that exiting dropbox and ending the dropbox processes solved my problem.
It appears that all the addons and unwanted upgrades have ended the functionallity of my simple needs, like I really needed the 3TB of online storage for my paid subscription.

The worst support I have ever seen! I'll just follow the same advice to turn off Dropbox.

Dropbox also seems to be consistently hovering at around 10% cpu usage for me when doing nothing. I've even ppaused syncing and there's no difference.
In case you ask, no I don't have any symlinks :)
