You can also try configuring these programs so that the Dropbox folder is excluded or white-listed, but please note that this may be a per user per computer setting and that this falls outside of the scope of what we support.
In any case, your comments on our website have been quite helpful, and I will do everything I can to ensure that your voice is heard.
I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.
