Dropbox clients on two of my computers also seem to be doing a mass-resync.  Possibly related to this release. Files and folders that haven't changed in years suddenly are getting the blue spinny icon. This is happening on two of my computers.  Looking around Dropbox in Finder also seems like it's making the problem worse and causing more things to turn blue.

 

Also the 4 "Dropbox Finder Extension" processes  (Dropbox.app/Contents/PlugIns/garcon.appex/Contents/MacOS/garcon) are each taking up ~10% CPU even though I'm not using Finder and have relaunched it.  Though that issue has been a regular one that's been around before this update. 

 

Here's a screenshot that'll work when Dropbox gets around to syncing it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6iu4vo337a3vndz/Screen%20Shot%202020-01-14%20at%203.08.29%20AM.png?raw=1
