    Hi gpswuser,

     

    Sorry for the late reply!

    Yes "DropboxUpdateClient" is the correct identifier and it should not change anymore. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention!

Hey gpswuser! Hope you’re doing well and thanks for your patience. 

 

The issue should now be fixed in the latest app version (205.4.5765) that was released yesterday. 

 

Can you make sure your Dropbox app is running that version and let us know if the issue persists?

Hello!

 

I have confirmed I am running version 205.4.5765, but Little Snitch now shows this:

Is the correct/valid identifier now "DropboxUpdateClient"?

 

Thanks,

Greg
