I finally figured out the solution to this problem and I think it might help some people in the rare case they get this problem too.
The reason because my laptop (windows) initially broke down was because I downloaded and synched icloud on my device. Dropbox continued to load really slowly because icloud was still messing with the system somehow and I didnt deinstall Icloud yet. After deinstalling icloud for good, my dropbox suddenly worked like a charm like there had never been a problem.
