Whenever I start Dropbox (boot my laptop) it takes ~30min of maxed out single-core work to "catch-up" since the "last-update". It's just really annoying as it makes my laptop quite loud.

Why is that? Google Drive doesn't seem to need to struggle that much.

So... that’s weird. I have a Macbook Air - not the most powerful machine on the planet - and a nearly full 1 TB dropbox with ~3 million files. Initial resync on boot takes under a minute.

How much data (total size/count of files) do you have?

[tasubotadas]

According to windows: 371790 files and 15.6GB.

hey, can you file a bug from the app? it will collect a report that we can use to diagnose. there's a "Report Bug" option adjacent to "Preferences..."

[tasubotadas]

I'll do that.

if you can email me (my HN username @dropbox.com) the email address associated with your account once you've sent the bug, I can take a look!
