Four services in Windows? (Five w/ Dbxsvc.exe)
Wht are there now FOUR services running for Dropbox in Windows?
Dropbox used to be only a single service, and now it's up to four (5 with Dbxsvc).
This is beginning to become nonsense.

- Hi there, they should use minimal resources.
Amongst the processes you'll see:
- One, the one using decent resources, is our application.
- We'll run a updater process, it's separate and will ensure, if a critical issue occurs we can separately update the app back into a working state. It'll also independently pull down any updates.
- One will be a crash logger, it'll up any critical crashes to us, so we have logging incase an issue occurs. (if the app is in a non-functioning state we wouldn't have confidence it would up any exceptions it hit).
Hope this helps you.
