Dropbox is constantly syncing and using a lot of the processor on Windows 11
Welcome.
I have a problem with droppbox running incessantly on a desktop computer, windows 11. The processor is loaded all the time. The dropbox bar shows 1 in black all the time and shows that it is syncing 207 files, once it shows 16 minutes then 1 hour and it continues like this all the time. The computer works 15 hours a day and Dropbox is still synchronising these 207 files. If I turn Dropbox off in autostart, the computer works quietly, but on other computers I don't have updated files of course, so it's not my problem.
What can I do to finally get this Dropbox to stop working overloading the system.

Hi JanNes, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you see where these files are located on your account by checking the Dropbox folder and searching for the blue sync icons? Are they all in one folder, or randomly located on the account?
Have you tried quitting all other open apps to see if this helps with the syncing?
This will help me to assist further!
