    Hi everyone,

     

    Just a quick update: we're rolling out a fix today that should resolve this issue. It's in Stable Build 197.4.7629.

I’m experiencing the same problem. Using a new MacBook Air M3, all software updated. I’m a fifteen year DropBox user and this is not the normal behavior. I see a a of replies to this thread of people responding to this with the same problem. Wondering if DropBox might be able to escalate this to engineering???
