It's currently #2 in the list after Amazon which is nothing to be proud about IMHO! :)
Bearing in mind I have not used Dropbox nor rebooted any machine it is installed on I find the amount of hits very concerning.
Should I just add it to my Blacklist? WIll this have any effect on Dropbox?
Can someone from Dropbox please step up, take ownership and at least have the common courtesy & professional integrity to reply rather than ignore please?
Thanks & kind regards,

If I hear nothing from Dropbox soon I'm going to consider it a bad actor and block it.
In fact I don't really use Dropbox much at all these days so I might just 'Drop' them altogether.
Such a pity I recently paid them $120 for another year...
