    Just noticed today that there's a new button in Dropbox settings saying Clear cache. So hopefully the problem is now resolved :-)

I'm confused why you are having issues Transcribe. Both Dropbox and OneDrive support selective sync. If you haven't selected the folders you want to sync from the cloud then of course it is going to sync all of your files. What did you think it was going to do? Decide what to sync for you automatically? You need to educate yourself on how these services work buddy.
