  • Does your computer have an HDD or SSD? If you have an HDD you may choose option not to have Dropbox run at startup. This will help your computer boot. Once it boots you could manually start Dropbox. However, this is the same issue I had and the only solution that seems to be working is upgrading to a decent SSD. I choose…

  • There is no solution other than upgrading your system to include an SSD drive that I can find. If you don’t like that than you can use Dropbox without the app.

  • New Mackbook Pro 15inch 2.6GHz with dropbox installed = no more issues with dropbox hogging HDD resources. The SSD is so fast now that I do not even notice the difference anymore. I was unable to use dropbox on the 2011 Macbook Pro or 2011 iMAC 27 inch computer anymore due to the way it uses HDD resources. It was a $3K…

  • This is one area that bothers me about Dropbox. As with Box, they have a trash can and it lists all files and folders with the ability to organize by deletion date or time. I like Dropbox over Box and hope that someday it would be easier to view deleted files rather then me having to generate an admin report, export the…

  • Yes I have a large number of files in the trash can and always will. The thing is, when I upload image files and then move them to a different folder and un-selective sync them, there is a deletion and addition in the events log. I guess I'll learn to use the events log rather than the trash can if I need to find important…
