    Hi Everybody,

     

    I spoke with our engineering team to confirm that this issue was resolved. I'm following up with this thread to confirm that high CPU usage is no longer a problem for any users. Ensure your MacOS and Dropbox are up to date, and please let us know if this is still affecting you. Thanks!

     

    Regards,

    Ben

Megan It appears a lot of us are having this issue. Have you or Dropbox been able to look into this further?

    Hi Megan,

     

    thank you for your reply. Please do not get me wrong, but I am paying already too much for Dropbox. I have clearly stated my issue here already, not only myself, but several others. Why do all of us have to raise separate tickets for this, instead of this entire thread being forwarded to the relevant team?

     

    Thank you and best wishes,

    George
