Same problem here. Tried upgrading to Mojave 10.14.2 and disenabling Finder integration, restarting, enabling Finder integration, restarting - neither resolved the issue. Following this in hopes of a fix soon.

Hey Guys,
If it's causing you issues you can just delete the dropbox quicklook plugin - sadly this recreates itself each time dropbox is started but you can work around that too:
In terminal use the following commands
rm -r ~/Library/QuickLook/DropboxQL.qlgenerator
touch ~/Library/QuickLook/DropboxQL.qlgenerator
qlmanage -rIn short, the first command removes the quicklook generator that dropbox installs. The second command creates a new empty file, so that dropbox can't install it's quicklook plugin when it starts up. Then the last command restarts the QuickLook service that creates the thumbnails.
This works perfectly for me, until the dropbox guys can come up with a QLplugin that doesn't cause my system to hang.

Don't use the comman that starts with "touch", the first and 3rd commands work right away without system restart.
rm -r ~/Library/QuickLook/DropboxQL.qlgenerator
qlmanage -r
Thank you! That was sooooo annoying.
