> Hey @DarthEd, even if you install a previous version of the Dropbox app, it's an app that auto-updates, and since the version you went back to is pretty obsolete, it's normal that it will stop working at some point.
I'm well aware of that.
> Have you tried deleting the app, restarting the device and then reinstalling it, to see if that helps with the crashing issue?
No. Rebooting after re-installing requires too much downtime. I also really doubt that would have affected anything.
> Also, are you getting any errors when the crash happens?
Please go back to my original post. I included the error message from system.log. That's the only error message I could find.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey DarthEd & vrachal - sorry to jump in, but could you clarify where your Dropbox folder is located on the affected machine per the app's preferences under the sync tab?
Also, are you getting any Dropbox errors when the app crashes or is it silently crashing?
In the past, I believe my folder was in documents. I did not adjust where the standard install placed the folder. The computer freezes and no error message comes up. In Activity Monitor it would show Dropbox at between 140 - 210% and Dropbox fileprovider at 60 - 75%. After being down basically for four days trying to fix it, I no longer have Dropbox loaded. I will wait until I either learn the issues have been resolved or find another solution. I can't afford the time to crash again...
