Nope, the Mojave update doesn't fix it . Still annoying thumbnails. So frustrating... I had this problem also with High Sierra.

I'm experiencing the the same thing but it is just JPEGs. 

Both quick look and the right preview pane in the Finder just show the spinning loader. 

I have seen suggestions on how to fix this including removing the DropboxQL.qlgenerator file from ~/Library/QuickLook. Neither of those locations exist on my install and I checked on an installation with HIgh SIerra. Not there either.
