For the past couple of days, Dropbox has been consistently using around 30% of my CPU, when not syncing or indexing anything (i.e., the menu bar drop down says `Up to date`). Any idea why this might be happening, and what I can do to get Dropbox to idle properly?

Thanks, Jay. I do have symlinks in my Dropbox folder, but they've been there for years, and this problem only started yesterday. They're there because they link to files that can only be synced by a different service (OmniPresence), so it's the only way of keeping all my project files organised and 'together' on Dropbox.

Yea he has symlinks. Symlinks are a standard part of the mac and saying "most likely you have symlinks" is not a reasonable answer. Ok, "most likely he has files" would be just as unreasonable. Traverse the symlinks or leave the application alone.

The symlink issue could be solved in a minute with 3 lines of code by simply NOT FOLLOWING them, a child can understand this, and yet they won't do that.. why? because then they have no excuse for all the problems their app creates.

Recently, I complained about the app replacing a file I was working on with a copy of that file they had online, somewhere, which was 3 weeks older!!! They put my good file on the side and renamed it 'conflicted etc' and proudly replaced it with the old file. Without any warning! When I complained about that, guess what was the answer? "It's the symlinks"... it's their swiss army knife for all problems.

It's simply impossible to work without symlinks or remove them: there are inside applications, inside my python development environment, even inside their own .dropbox.cache. And yet they dare to ask you to remove them all.

When I used automator to search for those conflicted files, I found out in horror there were 150 of them... They do this behind your back with zero warning. I had to painstakingly go through them one by one and fix it.

If you have checked all 7 causes of high CPU usage and still have the same behavior I would be more than happy to investigate device related details and search with the information you are providing in your last response about the placeholders.

I have the dropbox app installed on my 2019 MacBook Pro and for weeks now I've noticed CPU usage above 100% on my machine, which often causes the fans to spin up to insane levels (thank you intel Macs for being thermally garbage) at all hours of the day, often in the middle of the night after being asleep for hours. More recently I've had my Mac drain power to zero while plugged into power. This happened once while the computer was fully asleep and then again today while under normal browser usage. Activity monitor showed intense CPU and Energy usage by Dropbox in both these cases.

I have consulted that article to the point that I'm aware of its recent revisions as of a few weeks ago and spent a long time looking for symbolic links before its revision. I've reduced the number of files with selective and don't run any software that I'd expect to affect dropbox files. The only thing I can think of is that a backed up external HDD could be causing this issue, but I believe that the issue probably predates my addition of that backup.

Could you also send us a screenshot of the desktop app's exact status as shown in your menu bar and check if there are any other apps running on your computer that could be trying to access your files for any reason?

I am having the same problem with my Macbook Pro. Just in the last week I noticed that the battery drains even while it is plugged in, and when I click on the battery icon it says that Dropbox is using a lot of energy. Was there a resolution to this issue?

I've been in contact with some engineers directly at dropbox after another issue and I have not found any solution. In fact, this morning my computer has dropped unbelievably from about 75% to 11% in just *34 minutes while plugged in* due to dropbox power usage.

Thanks for your reply! I have a similar but different situation. My company keeps all of our files on Dropbox, and so any time someone makes a change to a file it syncs. Even if I set many things to online-only, it is still syncing something most of the day. I may try downgrading my OS if this continues to be a problem, since I think it only started after I upgraded to Monterey.

Yes. Claude Pro offers at least 5x the usage compared to our free service. The number of messages you can send will vary based on length of message, including the length of files you attach, and length of current conversation. We will provide a warning before you have 7 messages remaining, and your message limit will reset every 5 hours.

A model as capable as Claude takes a lot of powerful computers to run, especially when responding to large attachments and long conversations. We set these limits to ensure Claude can be made available to many people to try for free, while allowing power users to integrate Claude into their daily workflows.

Ask multiple questions at once, especially if you are asking Claude questions about a long document. Because Claude needs to re-read the conversation each time you send a new message, asking questions in individual messages would use up your limit faster than a single message with multiple questions in it.

We recently upgraded our XDR Clients from 7.4.2 to 7.5.0. Since the upgrade a lot of our Windows Servers seem to be using a lot more memory that what I recall other client versions using. For example, older versions where like 200-400MB of usage but with 7.5.0 they are using like 650MB up to 1GB of memory on the Cortex XDR Service (cyserver.exe). I can reboot the service and the memory usage goes down but slowly starts to creep up again.
