Hey waldieb - sorry to hear about this.

 

Can you please let us know the app's status and version as shown in your task bar at the moment?

 

A screenshot of the processes you mentioned would also help!

      I assume it is the latest drop box , I can kill the services and if I boot back up they all come back again

        Thanks for the screenshot, Barry. 

         

        Since the most recent version of the app came out a few minutes after your post, could you try installing the latest version from this page and let me know if the issue persists after rebooting your computer?
