High memory usage on Mac M1

[hgz]

Hi,

I've just installed my first M1 iMAC and entered the Dropbox beta program.

I need to add that I run an Intel base MB Pro in parallel and I've entered the beta program there as well.

So far everything went fine, Dropbox runs Apple nativ and functionality is as expected (well known from the past).

Checking memory usage on the M1 Mac made me wondering. 7,4GByte!! 

After rebooting the machine it came down to 750Mbyte but nearly a day later its up again to 1,5Gbyte and is constantly increasing.

On the Intel MB Pro, everything fine and smooth. Memory consumption around 700Mbyte & constant.

Does anyone experience similar memory issues on M1 MAC's?

I have been having this memory leak problem for months on macOS. I just quit Dropbox (again) after it was hogging 30+GB of memory. I do not have more than 300,000 files in the Dropbox folder, and I have contacted support directly without resolution (issues just get marked as solved).
