    It does look like you have over 300k files in your Dropbox folder, which could be the reason for what you're experiencing, as the performance of the app can decrease over that amount of files.

Hey,

 

Thanks for the help, in the meantime I removed around 80-90 GB worth of files from my computer and it works now!
