Many people have this problem. Dropbox support people respond multiple times, but never post a solution. I used to trust Dropbox for years, but with this attitude that trust is evaporating quickly.

    I too am having this problem. Can we please revert to the older version of the desktop app? This Apple File Provider based version is crap. (Same thing happened with Google Drive).
