Not only does Dropbox not tell you what's changed, they don't even provide info on what OS it'll work with. I downloaded stable release 141.4.3299 in hopes it would halt the ~hourly ~30Meg DropboxMacUpdate.app downloads, really irritating on a 1Meg connection, but
"The following disk images couldn't be opened" because 'Image not recognized'.
Does anyone know of an alternative to Dropbox that isn't so internet-chatty?

I've seen it do that too. It shouldn't be wasting bandwidth like that... But you can stop `DropboxMacUpdate.app` from waking up every hour by unloading its launchd job:
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.dropbox.DropboxMacUpdate.agent.plist
I 'fixed' it by (finally succeeded in) downloading the offline Dropbox 142.4.4197.dmg and installed it, problem seems to have ceased.
Thanks anyway, hopefully Dropbox will fix the problem in the future…
