Thanks tequejas, I’ve amended it now, we’ve recently changed the domain for the Help Center, so the link should point to the correct location.

    That's dropbox, still using 280MB memory while sync has been paused for several minutes. I guess the consensus from this thread is there's no fix and to choose a different provider. OK
