I have started having this same problem as well on my Windows laptop.  I disabled iCloud photos uploading as instructed and will see if the issue stops occurring.  I do run PasswordSafe (pwsafe) with a database file stored in my Dropbox folder, so it synchronizes across my other PCs and phones.  I have been doing this for many years and the hung Dropbox process only started in the past 2-3 months.  I only notice the hung Dropbox folder when a pwsafe change made on my laptop is missing on my phone.
