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!

Dropbox StaffHey LaraRebooted, sorry to hear about this.
Have you taken a look at this Help Center article which outlines some possible reasons why this might be happening?
Still high CPU issues on the latest version. What's even more alarming is that I can't now fully kill Dropbox - the DropboxFileProvider process stays alive and keeps on consuming resources.
Yes, and none of them apply. Your program continuously restarts syncing items that have undergone absolutely no changes since it last synced them. It will then say it's all caught up... and a few minutes later, after I've done nothing except maybe browsed the Internet or talked to friends on Discord -- activities that generate NO CHANGES to my hard drive -- it will start claiming that it is syncing hundreds of files, and running up my CPU. This is what we all keep telling you guys. The only thing I can think of to do on my end, if you are unwilling to actually FIX the BUG, is replace Dropbox with another cloud service.
