Glad beta seems to be sorting it - any word when this will go onto the main release channel?  I'm experiencingn 15-20% battery loss per day solely due to Dropbox camera upload wakelocks at present!

    Thanks for the update - from what fabiovilan said previously it sounds like v76 didn't solve the problem but v77 did, so look forward to v78 being released in a couple of weeks!  For just now I've had to switch of camera upload which certainly does the trick - 0% usage all day!!
