    Hey waldieb - sorry to hear about this.

     

    Can you please let us know the app's status and version as shown in your task bar at the moment?

     

    A screenshot of the processes you mentioned would also help!

    I assume it is the latest drop box , I can kill the services and if I boot back up they all come back again

    Thanks for the screenshot, Barry. 

     

    Since the most recent version of the app came out a few minutes after your post, could you try installing the latest version from this page and let me know if the issue persists after rebooting your computer?
