I would kill to pin Dropbox to efficiency cores like this. Half the time when my fans are whirring I discover it's just Dropbox frantically trying to sync things.

There are plenty of self-hosted dropbox alternatives that don't do that.

I get that not everyone is a "take matters into their own hands" kinda person, but it's worthwhile to at least look into it and see if it's something worth pursuing for you.

Maestral (https://github.com/SamSchott/maestral) is a pretty light-weight Dropbox client that works well for mac
