    Fixed it!! During the Dropbox install, tick “Opt out of Dropbox for Windows Update,” sync again, and it’s back to normal.

I’m experiencing the same issue. It had worked flawlessly for years, so this is very disappointing.

Hey rick_g. To clarify, are you also using the exact same configuration as the OP user?

    Yes, I do.. I’m sharing the drive that holds my Dropbox over the network. I can open .c4d files from outside the Dropbox folder, but not inside it. I have been using this setup for years and all of a sudden it's not working anymore. It only seems to be affecting .c4d files.
