High CPU Usage after updating MacBook Pro to MacOS Monterey (12.3)
I installed the latest MacOS update (Monterey 12.3) on my MacBook pro last night and now Dropbox is almost continuously syncing files and sucking my CPU usage. Fans are running almost constantly, and...
Hi Everybody,
I spoke with our engineering team to confirm that this issue was resolved. I'm following up with this thread to confirm that high CPU usage is no longer a problem for any users. Ensure your MacOS and Dropbox are up to date, and please let us know if this is still affecting you. Thanks!

No, I'm going to stay on the beta as they appear to work better for me. The syncing issues I've had have existed since I started using DropBox. It will show all files up to date and then a few minutes later will update the cloud from the computer. Once I figured it out, I just make sure not to use a shared file without waiting a few minutes. My biggest grip with DropBox is having to upgrade service because I have too many devices connected to the same account. By the time I connect my desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones I've exceeded the max number of logins.
Forgot to mention that you need to set the upload bandwidth to not throttle to make DropBox more responsive.
If you are sharing files with a program like Scrivener turn off the option to automatically load the previous projects you were working on as sometimes you'll corrupt a project when the program loads files before they get sync'd and you end up with two versions to deal with.
