for mac it's FSEveents: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreservices/file_....

that definitely seems like a bug, could you report it? click on the dropbox tray, click on the dropdown in the top right, and then click "Report Bug." this will collect some information about your client to help us debug.

I'm curious if Dropbox could replace their kernel extension and FSEvents usage with an EndpointSecurity client. Would you happen to know if there's any work being done in this area?
