I've been reading several reports that the Dropbox app running on iPhone, Android and even Mac has resulted into quick battery drain. It looks like the excessive CPU usage, which is a result of continuous file sync between your computer / phone and Dropbox servers is the reason most batteries would drain out in just a few hours. Even the latest released MacBook Air 2013 with Haswell CPU is running out of battery in just 4-5 hours which otherwise lasts for about 12 hours.
Two months ago, Dropbox did delivery a patch for all their apps; but several users are still reporting the problem. Wondering if you've had similar experience on your phone. If some you could disable the app on you computers or phones and check whether there's a significant improvement over battery life, we'd confirm the problem.
Wondering what could be a fix for such apps that go very high on CPU?
