Hey 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?

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...
