Hi again,
Thanks for the additional info.
Please keep in mind that Dropbox constantly checks for update's on files as syncing is one of our main features. So, what may have happened is that the packages being sent from the app, due to the mobile data not being as steady as a wi-fi connection, were sent/received more times than usual because of failed attempts.

Dropbox StaffHi KJN,
This is very puzzling. I'm not seeing anything that could use that much data. If you see it again, please let me know.
When you check data usage can you also check how much storage the Dropbox app is using on your phone? If we see it grow the same amount as data used we can narrow it down to data that's being cached on disk (i.e. file contents).
