Hi Eric_Tirrell, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
The file dbxsvc.exe is a component that we use as part of the Dropbox syncing process and is created at install for all users.
Please note that the issue you are experiencing is technically the volume of times it is writing to the error log, rather than any issue indicated by the process's presence in that error log. In short, due to the way Microsoft categorizes something as report-worthy, we would expect the process to be mentioned in that log 3 times every 24 hours. We want to reassure you that everything is working properly and that doesn't indicate a fault.
With that in mind, we understand that you may not wish to see this behavior and apologize if these entries were concerning to you. We would not recommend attempting to disable dbxsvc.exe. Please note that updating the desktop application or re-installing it will also attempt to re-add this process.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
Thank you! Happy to ignore it.
