Thanks for using Dropbox! The desktop client is regularly updated with many improvements and fixes. Download Windows Standard Installer Offline Installer Mac OS X Standard Installer Offline Installer Linux x86_64 Offline Installer x86 OfflineInstaller Auto-updates: In progress

It still has the problem reported here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-29-3-18/td-p/225422It floods the Event Log with messages “Failed to connect to the driver: -2147024894, retrying in 1000 milliseconds”. It's really annoying. I disabled DbxSvc. It's not clear what this service is doing anyway. It doesn't have any TCP connections, it just sits there scretely doing something god knows what. Syncing works just fine without it, so I suggest everybody to disable it.

Eventus O. wrote: Why would they leave running a service that's useless? Not that I don't believe you, just curious. Oh common, as if we don't have other useless services running in Windows :). It's a free software, whatever this service is doing, it can be useful for Dropbox Inc, but it is useless for me. Everything I need from Dropbox works without it. Maybe it collects some statistics, maybe it is spying, I don't know. It definitely has nothing to do with network or Internet. If you check its import table, it communicates with some kernel driver using Minifilter Driver Architecture. Maybe it checks the content of the files for whatever reason. What is very suspicious about this service is a visible intent of the developers not to disclose what the heck it is doing. The description of the service just vaguely says “Dropbox Service” — yeah, very informative. There are some hints that maybe the Dropbox Inc. uses it to collect debug information to deal with bugs in their software. However considering that Dropbox Inc is very bad at fixing bugs and doesn't give a screw about users experience, disabling this service won't make too much difference for you personally.

Also seeing the Event Log problem. (Win10 64 bit) Hope to see this fixed in the release notes for the next version.

My EventLog ist filled with the following Message:Failed to connect to the driver: -2147024894, retrying in 1000 millisecondsThe Entry is cause bei the DbxSvc and appeas every second.Windows 10 Enterprise 1703

Windows 7 machine. Dropbox quit synching and then desktop quits responding. I have tried a clean install several times and it hangs up when the sign-in window appears. The sign-in is blank, then quits responding. Severe problems with this version.

  I solved the dbxsvc problem by uninstalling Dropbox. The problem not only fills up the eventlog but kills the computer performance.

  Turn off DbxSvc. It's useless.

    Thanks patulus that worked! I guess I had a brain freeze because the wording of the error I didn't realize it was a service, yeah svc in the name is a clue but I don't believe names.
