After this started happening again yesterday I'd forgotten to disable 'run Dropbox at startup' and today once again the log files completely filled my C: drive causing Ableton Live to crash and corrupt the configuration file due to not being able to save and yet again lost all my carefully setup plugin favourite folders etc, sample locations etc.

So incredibly frustrating and annoying. Please fix this.

I should add that not a single file has been synced while these 10's of GB's of files have been created. This is clearly a bug yet it's not being acknowledged while we all act as QA for you.
