Hi there damienbutt - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Can you please send us a screenshot of where you're spotting the CPU spikes including the Dropbox desktop app's status as shown in the taskbar?

Also, since you're running a beta version of the app, you could try installing the latest stable version from this page directly. Just make sure to toggle off the 'early releases' from your account's settings first.

Let me know of any updates!
