Have any of you guys run into Dropbox constantly syncing the .syncid file over and over again? Any Ideas on how to fix this issue or prevent it? Forum member, Lightning, suggested running the linux version, but I need Windows on this system for work.

JKells: Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that. GreatMarko: Thanks for the info and the link. Lightning: It's a core2 duo desktop. While it's doing it the explorer process it hitting about 32% and dropbox process is doing about 55%. Add that to my other normal processes and it pegged @ 100%. I'm cheap and only have systems that I've pieced together from free parts from my recycle bin at work.

The problem that I am having is that I am syncing files across my three computers, and one of those computers is keeping the same directory up to date with dropbox, so that I can access my files where ever I am. But it is pegging out my processor because the .SyncID file syncs over and over again in Dropbox. I know that this is really a problem with dropbox because you can't tell it to ignore certain file. But can the .syncid file be placed outside of the folder that is being synced?
