I am running Dropbox 66.2.2 on my HTC 10 phone running Android 7.0. Dropbox is killing my battery and preventing my phone from sleeping while the screen is off. I've tried clearing cache, clearing data, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but the problem persists. Can you help?

      I have an extra piece of information, don't know how to relay it to the team... It looks like usage goes on with time of the day, somehow. Don't know if this helps, but Samsung starts complaining about drain usually later in the afternoon.
