209.4.3661 is my version
I use Dropbox everyday. Now it´s fine since I moved the whole box to an external SSD which seems/has to be faster than the internal HDD.
but it seems it was 1 or 2 4k video files that crashed the whole dropbox and almost my whole PC (because of WIndows Explorer which didnt work at all after 2-3min)
-> what to do next time???
