DropboxUpdateClient on Mac now has different "identifier'
LittleSnitch is complaining that the latest DropboxUpdateClient on my Mac now has a different "identifier", see:
[removed to prevent excess traffic]
Is this a legitimate change?
Thanks!
Hi gpswuser,
Sorry for the late reply!
Yes "DropboxUpdateClient" is the correct identifier and it should not change anymore. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention!

Hello gpswuser ,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This appears to be a legitimate update and the updated DropboxUpdateClient binary should be signed with the Dropbox signature. However, there seems to be an issue with how the identifier is being set for this binary. We will investigate this issue further to ensure the identifier is set consistently.
