Thanks. To clarify though, do you mean other apps that do or don't use the Dropbox Sync/Datastore SDK? The SDK does use the iOS background task API to do some syncing in the background when necessary, and I believe this exception means it ran out of limited time the OS allows for this. I'm not sure offhand if there's something additional we need to do handle this more gracefully but we can look into it.
