    I wonder if going back to "Stable Build 28.4.14" and disable updates will change anything?

    Same here on Windows 7 with 29.4.20. 

     

    The event log is full with this message:

    Failed to connect to the driver: -2147024894, retrying in 1000 milliseconds

    Provider: DbxSvc

    EventID: 320

    Same here , 80k+ events in the Application Log with DbxSvc tretrying every 1000 milliseconds. Had to uninstall dropbox from the pc, it's killing the eventlogs, makes it impossible to track anything else. 

    Bad programming. Very bad.

    Please fix this bug. It's an incredible hassle to utilize the Event Viewer for troubleshooting now. I had to Uninstall DB.

    Same problem. Don't know if its continual looping is causing other problems I have, but I am Turning off DropBox until I know this is fixed.

    Hi folks,

     

    Really sorry about this regression. We've reduced the frequency in v30 so that things check every minute and then slowly back off and we'll be further quieting things down in v31.

     

    Cheers,

    Ben
