Hi tonyskate,

Absolutely same - no, but equivalent - Yes. When you want, removing Deny mark will let Dropbox auto update again. You didn't mention explicitly and I assume you ask for revert to previous version. Alternative variants are also possible in all cases (just preventing updater process run, in cases there is such independent process - on Windows & Mac there is).

Hope this helps.

    Hi Здравко, thanks but that did not help. Dropbox tries to update anyway and when I stop the process before it's done, Dropbox in older version is still stuck at syncing and eats CPU & disc.

    It has been like that for about two weeks and Dropbox support does not care at all or more propably they don't have any solution and who knows if they are gonna ever fix it.

    Hi tonyskate,

    Probably you didn't notice:

    I'm commenting how you can revert Dropbox version, nothing more. I don't use Windows regularly, in fact, to be honest. I fully agree that Dropbox QA is very bad and need significant improvements, definitely. They use final users as some alpha testers (and all this for "stable builds")!

    No worries, Здравко. Yes, I have wanted to revert Dropbox version but it didn't work. It was worth a try, thank you anyway.
