We're seeing the Chrome Open/Save As window closing rapidly and reporting a crash in the Event Log for Chrome.exe. Upon inspection, we find that Chrome is touching a Box Sync key last before this window goes away. We have seen this on 3 new machines set up using BoxSync.exe direct from Box.com and the latest version of Chrome. Removal of Box Sync ends the behavior immediately. 

Ticket #400547 opened with Support. Have issues with 4.0.8016.0 and 4.0.7929 rollback seemed to show the same behavior. Maybe it's Chrome with the problem?
