Dropbox using over 4GB of RAM on my M1 Macbook Pro 13"
Dropbox is using over 4GB of RAM on my M1 Macbook Pro 13".
I realise that we are waiting for the native Apple Silicon version, but this is rediculous. I've been using dropbox for more than 10 y...
Thank you for the reply. I will have a look through the article. I did reinstall, but I will try again. I have quite a few files, not excessive though, but that was the reason for upgrading to 2TB. I am only using 31.7% of 2TB.
Will have a read through that article and try what it suggests. I pretty sure this is an intel / rosetta 2 issue, at least I hope so. And I hope the new native app is released soon.
Also, most of my files are using selective sync and are on the main supported drive, as mentioned in the article.
The same dropbox installation and account is using 400mb on my old intel mac.

Hey there freelancingjim; I'm sorry to jump in here, but could you send us a screenshot of the app's status (and version) as shown in your menu bar when you notice those RAM usage spikes?
While we're at it, if re-installing didn't help improve matters, you may want to try a clean, advanced re-install as well.Hi. Sorry for late reply. The RAM usage do not happen in spikes, it remains consistently high while dropbox is running.
