Brand new Win 11 install, Dropbox causes this issue which causes hard fault / BSOD. Unable to use Dropbox app at all. Replicated on two clean installs.

Switching my business accounts to OneDrive immediately due to this issue.

I can confirm that the problem with random crashes/reboots are due to Dropbox (DbxSvc).

I've never had this problem before and a couple of weeks ago my computer started to behave strangely. I tried to find out the culprit and always at the times when the crashes/reboots occurred then DbxSvc had an error entry in the Event Viewer.
I found this thread and decided to disable DbxSvc and shut down Dropbox.

After I did that then no more crashes/reboots for 4 days now. With DbxSvc on the computer crashed/rebooted 4-5 times per day.
So now I'm leaving Dropbox and moving elsewhere (MEGA, OneDrive).

Thanks for the time Dropbox but your inability to acknowledge and fix this problem is inexcusable.
