RAM memory usage goes through the roof

I'm using Ubuntu. Dropbix used to work fine on my system but recently something happened and when trying to sync files, the memory usage rapidly increases to max up 32 GB RAM, and then the system freezes and the Dropbox apps shut down. This happens when trying to upload a small file. What could lead to such a behavior?

    Hi kamadforge, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    What version of Ubuntu and the Dropbox desktop application are you running on your device?
