What version are you on NOW? Not what versions have you tried. If you're currently on a version with .3. in the middle, follow Hannah's instructions for getting back on a stable release, which has .4. in the middle.

Ok look, I uninstalled my 196.3.6775, restarted PC, I did all those steps, then i went there and installed a new version. And this is surprise surprise 196.3.6775. And yes, Early access was OFF and is OFF and I never turned it on. 

But for the previous 2 days I installed all those versions with 3 and 4 in the middle, none of them helped me. And now I`m going to download and install 195.4.4995 just because 4 in the middle

     195.4.4995 did not help. When I press Ctrl+O or File -> Open it looks as if the files are being downloaded from somewhere. Scrolling is slow and sorting is incorrect. After some time, the files are sorted correctly. However, scrolling still occurs in jerks. I can’t scroll straight to the end of the list; the list slows down and freezes.

    I wonder what is the oldest version of Drobox that I can install?
