Very slow opening files and folder

Hi ray5640, there are two issues mentioned in this thread, which one are you experiencing exactly?

If you quit the Dropbox desktop application, are you able to navigate through the Dropbox folder normally?

This is the same issue that I am experiencing. I do not have iCloud.

"Everything run smoothly until some days ago, when Dropbox suddenly became very slow when clicking to open folder or file: it takes MANY seconds (10-15 seconds at least). This causes a huge slowdown in the user experience, I can't even work in these circumstances.
Of course this is a problem related to the Dropbox folder only, local folders run as smooth as they should.
How can I fix that? Thanks."

If you've tried my previous suggestion and it didn't change the behavior, try contacting the support team directly for further assistance.

A year and a half almost .... conflict with iCloud definately is causing this for me.  I need iCloud for pics and outlook integration .. any solutions ?  I reinstalled iCloud already

Same here ... even stopping icloud doesn't help. As soon as it's uninstalled everything is fine. Probably an icloud for windows issue though ...

I have this slow folder issue. If i quit the desktop app the PC works as it should. Is there a fix for this?

Hi

I had this issue, Uninstall dropbox, then reinstall 'run as administrator' solved all my issues.

Thanks for the heads up henrikv! 😊

We'll be one post away if you ever need anything else. Cheers!
