    Hey norbmor and DenisBY,

    We're working on a fix for that issue, and should have it out soon. Sorry about the inconvenience!

    DenisBY: I think there's an option in your preferences to opt you out of beta releases, which will keep you from getting autoupdated to the beta build. If you can't find it, let me know and I can temporarily disable updates for you.

    Once in a while, dropbox becomes hyperactive for no reason on my Mac under Mojave up to the point of completely hanging everything and leaving me no choice but to force-shutdown. Is taht a known issue? Am-I the only one experiencing this?

    I also suspect that it might be responsible for the Finder stopping to refresh the content of is windows (also only under Mojave). I'm less affirmative on this one, but I never had theissue when Dropbox wasn't running in the background.

    Hey Corentin C.,

    Thanks for the bug report! I don't believe that's a known issue. I've filed a task internally to track it.

    Hey @norbmor and @DenisBY,

    The latest beta, v60.3.102, should fix the issue you're seeing. Mind testing it out and letting us know if it's working?

    Here's the build: LINK

    You can install it by untarring it into your home folder and then running `dropbox start`. It should overwrite your old Dropbox installation in ~/.dropbox-dist.

    Thanks!
