Dropbox vs. Ventura nightmare (191.4.4995)
Welp, week two and the "new" Dropbox update continues to reek havoc on my iMac. I've read a lot of community threads, and can already weed out that this is not a "beta" version. I've installed DB ver...

For anyone who finds this thread and is having issues, it's been about a week now since my system has stabilized after updating to the most recent version of Dropbox Desktop app for mac, which initially caused so much trouble for me. I'll admit that I was not optimistic that the Dropbox desktop app for mac would ever be stable again in current Apple/Mac Operating Systems, but it did eventually seem to work itself out. The two keys that seemed to likely help make any difference, although I can't confirm it so it's just my best hunch, are quitting the "fileproviderd" process in the Apple Activity Monitor app, a dozen shut-downs and restarts over several days, and eventually, with enough time, it all returned back to normal—allowing me to do the two special resets. Good luck out there.

Hey tomgrin74, thanks for updating us and giving us a heads up!
I was able to check Walter's email, and saw that it was still open, in case you want to reply or report anything back to him.
Now as to why this might have happened, and what could have caused it: I have to admit it was a whirlwind of a case that could have been caused by a few different factors, that we tried to pinpoint based on the info you gave us.
We don't have specifics as of yet, but glad everything is behaving at the moment.
