all 'FILE EXPLORER' FILE icons flashing whenever dropbox is running
As of today drop box is causing the file icons in ANY/ALL open explorer windows to flash constantly between the correct icon image and the default windows 'no icon' icon.

Here's a screencap of what's going on, thought it might help your developers... the dropbox overlay icon checkmarks are constantly refreshing, causing File Explorer to lag severely -- my mouse is jittery and my movements are slow because the UI is seizing up every time those checkmarks refresh.
Replying to my earlier post after sending two other emails directly to Dropbox Support.
Here's another video...

I haven't heard back from you regarding the previously submitted videos and information, nonetheless, I am providing another video from yet another computer.
In fact, my ability to use Dropbox is significantly compromised by the slowness of the blinking video issue. To recap, I have two OTHER computers that BOTH exhibit this problem and many people have reported this issue for a long time and it's really disappointing that no REAL fix for this issue has been provided to ANY of the users reporting this problem.
So because I was having such difficulty using my files, I BROUGHT a brand new Dell laptop (my other two machines are HPs) and with only the basic supplied files, I installed the latest Dropbox App and set everything to "Online Only".
After the files completed syncing, I took a few of the Dropbox folders and changed them to "Local".
From the 1 minute video above, you can see the behavior of the system (EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE VIDEOS SHOWING THE PROBLEM WHILE RENAMING OR MOVING FILES).
So folks, this is beyond acceptable. I will be posting portions of this email to the Dropbox Community so that others who are having this problem can see the behavior and determine if it's the same problem they may be experiencing.I would also like to build a little fire under you guys. I'm disappointed that none of my previous emails have been acknowledged despite being asked by Dropbox support to provide more information.Your reply would be most appreciated but YOUR SOLUTION would really be BETTER.
