tsomek, thank you for posting this - I too have the very same problem, had/used Dropbox for years.
Nothing has changed on my system and this seems to be a new problem, so last week I totally uninstalled DB, re-installed and re-indexed, the problem has returned.
Logs are 146GB and increasing until I hit zero space on my 1TB drive, what I don't understand is most the time Dropbox tells me it's all indexed and done, it's like it's not cleaning up logs or doing tons of reindexing in the early hours as this doesn't happen when I'm at my PC, but my PC is never turned off.
It's got so bad, I'm seriously thinking of ditching DB, this is only a problem in recent weeks... I would not mind if I'd added tons of new files. I'm confident it's a DB bug.
