very slow viewer on android

Hello,

For several months, I have noticed that viewing (not loading) files is extremely slow on my Android phone. When I click on the file (excel for example) that I want to preview, there is a kind of blue square that flashes in the middle of the screen and it lasts and lasts. When the preview of the file finally appears, it is better not to touch anything (zoom for example) because then everything is erased and that **bleep** blue square reappears and it lasts and lasts. An idea ? THANKS

    Hey buysschaert, sorry to jump in. 

     

    Do you mind continuing in English, so that we can further help?

     

    Thanks!

    Hi After testing, it turns out that the problem only occurs for xslx type files.

    Thanks for clarifying, buysschaert! Can we log a ticket for you to the email address showing here, and take it from there? It looks like our support team will need to look into your Dropbox account and investigate further.
