There doesn't seem to be a way to directly reply to Shayne B, but I wanted to let everyone know that this problem started for me after I freshly installed El Capitan and all other apps (inc Dropbox).  I didn't have the problem on the old install, so it is not something that will be resolved with a fresh install.  I hope Shayne sees this.
