Below are some other troubleshooting tips for high memory, CPU and disk usage by Dropbox on Windows:

- Restart your computer to clear any processes stuck in memory. Dropbox will restart automatically.

- Update to the latest version of Dropbox desktop app in case older versions had resource usage bugs.

- Limit syncing to specific folders instead of entire Dropbox account to reduce bandwidth and resource usage.

- Pause syncing for periods of time when you don't need active sync. Right click tray icon and choose Pause Syncing.

- Check Settings - Account and reduce number of days to keep file events to decrease size of Dropbox log files.

- Exclude file types and folders within Dropbox that don't need constant syncing, like large videos.

- Adjust Performance tab in Settings to reduce CPU priority and change how much bandwidth is used.

- Move Dropbox folder location to a different hard drive if your primary drive is low on storage space.

- Delete any unneeded files and folders in Dropbox taking up space and causing extensive sync activity.

- Disable Show desktop notifications in Settings to reduce CPU usage.

- Run a virus scan to check for malware possibly interfering with Dropbox processes.

- Uninstall and reinstall Dropbox using the clean uninstall tool if issues persist.

- Contact Dropbox Support if high resource usage continues even after trying these troubleshooting steps.
