I'm 100% with you.  I wonder if they didn't decide to save money and farm development out.

Also worth noting I been using Dropbox on the same 2 computers for YEARS with no problems.  Its only after the smart sync versions came on-line that the problems started.

    It seems some of the problem might be the .dropbox.cache folder.  The anti virus don't like the partial files dropbox is placing there.  Thinks they are malware.  I can't whitelist it, due to policy.

    Can dropbox do a fix where it don't have to use the cache (like a setting we can turn it off) and/or put files there the virus programs won't jump all over?

      Hi!

      What antivirus are you using? The .dropbox.cache has been around for years as well, so it would be great to try and narrow down what might have led to the the antivirus jumping on it. Do you have particular evidence of certain files getting flagged by antivirus?

      Thanks
