Dropbox founder and CTO Arash Fedovsi (Arash Ferdowsi) announced that he was going to roll out a new version of Dropbox, which will fix many of the known performance problems . Now the new version is at the final stage of testing.
Fedovsi recommends using the latest release candidate 0.8.114 , which has been brought to mind for nine months and should be released within two to three weeks. βIt handles large collections of files much better and consumes less CPU / memory. In addition, it deletes the Dropbox cache much more aggressively: the current build only does this when the process is restarted, and a new build every three days. β
