Dropbox and Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview 2.

From Dropbox forum:

This version causes crashes in the latests developer preview of Lion. If you are using a developer preview we advise against running this version. We’re working on a solution. Thanks.

Previously, Dropbox can be used with Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview (1) by changing the CFBundleVersion to 2.0.
