Dropbox on a server stops syncing at least once a week and needs a restart

Thought that may be the case.
Dropbox isn't actually supported on any Server install - see the minimum system requirements for info. Therefore I'd consider contingencies for when/if it stops working.
So my guess is its trying to do an update or similar and getting stuck. Is it possible to run a batch script to say restart Dropbox overnight every few days which may be a workaround?
