    I just saw this for the first time on a new update to macOS Sonoma, and it was so horribly distracting that I just removed Dropbox from the Dock and now I don't have to look at it again. Not optimal but the bouncing icon was beginning to drive me insane after less than five minutes. I'm not sure this is controllable by the DropBox devs, but you might pass it back to the macOS folks.
