Multiple Instances of dropbox.exe in Task Manager

I noticed today in my Windows 10 Task Manager that I have multiple instances of dropbox.exe running. See screenshots in link below. I'm running version 167.4.4719 and the icon bubble says "up to date."

Question: Should I be concerned?

That's completely normal.

Thanks, Rich. I appreciate your helpful response.

What I do is I use End Task option as I don't need Dropbox running in the background. Next time when I start my computer it will run again and if I am updating any document then I'll let it run otherwise use end task option again...
