Thank you. I don't know how I missed that. For me, this is strike number 2 for DropBox. The first is their complete refusal to make DB work with the favorites on the Files App. That makes using my iPad extremely cumbersome. The thread trying to get that fixed is going on 2+ years now, with no resolution. I was going to migrate to OneDrive, as we use Office365 for our company. However, I was procrastinating. I will be migrating our company over this weekend and cancel DB. Too bad. Great service, but they've forgotten to pay attention to their customers...always a fatal mistake when there is competition.

Unfortunately, this went on for about 2-3 weeks and even after disabling it, my battery life is definitely MUCH better, but it FRIED my battery. My battery now only lasts about half the day when it used to last the entire day.
Maybe it's time to get a class action lawsuit started? (Especially since Dropbox won't even respond. Or are they not responding because they know this is about to turn into a lawsuit?)
