Dropbox folder not oppening with File explorer

I am using Windows 10 Home and  I cannot access any local Dropbox files on my computer using File Explorer. I can access them via the DropBox online site and through the icon on the taskbar but not in File Explorer. I have uninstalled DropBox desktop, downloaded it again, and installed it, and still have problems. When I navigate through the DropBox folders on the PC, I can see the file, but If I click on it, I get the hourglass, which will not stop unless I forcibly close it with Task Manager.  Any response will be gratefully received - thanks

  • I solve it!!!!
    The problem is iCloud. Once iCloud is uninstalled all goes smooth again 😃
