High CPU Usage after updating MacBook Pro to MacOS Monterey (12.3)
I installed the latest MacOS update (Monterey 12.3) on my MacBook pro last night and now Dropbox is almost continuously syncing files and sucking my CPU usage. Fans are running almost constantly, and...

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,

Yes, it is. Dropbox is still "syncing 1 file" forever. I can work properly only on another User on my Apple M1 Pro that is not logged in Dropbox.
Processes rtcreportingd and fileproviderd are still using above 100% of CPU on my original User. I am running v181.4.5678 and Ventura 13.5.1.
All open-and-save panels get often stuck with all apps (finder, word, excel, preview...) and the only way to have files opened and/or saved is to kill those two processes (tcreportingd and fileproviderd) that, indeed, get back to over 100% in seconds. My Dropbox folder is very large (approx 500 GBs)

I’m sorry to hear you’re still having trouble with this, gio18.
There was recently a newer desktop app build released. Can you please update your Dropbox app and let me know if it makes any difference at all?
If not, we’ll check this further.

I am having the same issue. Started when upgrading from OS Monterey to Ventura. M1 mac. The status toggles between "updating files" and "updating 1 file". Ive let it update over 24 hours to no effect. I understand some file system updating needs to occur. Is there a point where letting the computer run no longer is helpful? Id prefer to not let my computer fry indefinitely if the system is hung up or just spinning its wheel.
