Dropbox StaffDropbox app for Android causing high battery usage
- Hi Alan, the main release of v76 will be rolled out 100% on this Wed. v78 will follow 2 weeks after that.
I am also having huge battery drain from Dropbox resulting from lots of wakelock time. Dropbox 70.2.4 on a Galaxy S7 Edge. The battery historian data below show that it's coming from the upload service. I tried changing the upload setting to "only while charging" a couple days ago, but it doesn't seem to have helped.
I´ve detected the very same problem. Using a5-2016 Android 7.0, greenify is almost always showing it as "running" and betterbatterysstats shows the wakelock. Dropbox 70.2.4
(Better Battery Stats - Partial Wakelocks)

Please fix this ASAP as it´s eating up all my battery. Thanks.
Following up my previous post...
Tried the latest dropbox beta (as of today, 73.1.2) and the problem remained.
Tried to downgrade to 66.2.2 (as LaurensBE recommended in a previous post) but the problem also remained for me.
So I tried to downgrade 62.2.4 and finnaly everything works 110% ok, no wakelocks at all from dropbox. No problems whatsoever so far. Will keep running this version until a definitive fix from dropbox developers.
Obs: Running Samsung A5-2016, Android 7 latest stock version from samsung, non-rooted. Using greenify and BetterBatteryStats (with ADB to enable additional information without root).
This worked for me too. And the application was rather simple. Thank You.
- EdHi everyone
Dev team has been notified and will work on a fix for the next stable version. I'll keep you guys updated!So, its been 6 months and the developers are looking at it "urgently".
Imagine my relief.
I guess its time to use a different application that does not have this issue.
Hi everyone,
I'm still using 64.2.2 version, not affected by battery drain. I seen in Play Store the 80.2.2 version, available from yesterday. Before to upgrade to this latest version I would like to know if battery drain is resolved. Someone can confirm that this issues is solved?
