The new beta version has some nice features. However, it wants to run a background service constantly. Even if you stop it, it starts back up even without opening the app. No thanks. Dropbox is a great tool, but it works just fine in the current state in the market version. When it comes to background services that want to run for no reason, I have to weigh the benefits. It's not worth a few exta features just to eat away at my battery. Keep in mind, I'm talking about running services, not apps being held in memory, which do not use battery. I have an EVO and do not use a task killer, as it is not needed. However, I do keep a handle on apps that want to run a service constantly. LauncherPro put one in, and I uninstalled. Enough people bitched about it, til he took it out and now it only runs for a few seconds when updating the widgets, instead of constantly. If Dropbox removes the updater, I'll use the new beta. But, until then, I'm happy with the market version that does not have the updater.
