Hey there VladBusca - sorry to hear that!

Can you send me a screenshot of the exact error you get?

Also, could you please let me know if you've restarted your computer since you first noticed this?

If you did and this persists, could you access your task manager and see if there are any processes that could be accessing your Dropbox files and close them from there?

Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there.

    Below the printscreen. Yes I restarted the computer several times. Also tried the task manager option (mentioned this in my initial post).

    Thanks

      Sorry to hear this persists for you Vlad. 

      Could you open your task manager and send me a screenshot of your active processes at the moment so I can investigate further?
