Dropbox macOS Beta (fileproviderd based Dropbox) is an absolute nightmare!

I made the mistake of opting in to the Dropbox beta which is based on macOS fileproviderd integration, which the update notice insisted was perfectly safe. It is anything but. For the record, I am on...

Some screenshots. And I noticed that the fileproviderd process loads the computer.

Same on my side!

I have been accepted the Beta 3 days ago, the files have been moved to the cloud storage and since then, it doesn't stop "indexing" and I can't access my files. I have to download them from the web app and the new files I'm adding to the folders are not transfered to my web app:
