Dropbox freezes and crashes when I navigate in my Dropbox folder within File explorer.
Hello,

Hi,
We're having similar issues on all our PCs. A mixture of windows 10 & 11. Explorer is fine after a
restart but once Dropbox has synced a few files explorer is slow. Icons for all files within dropbox just shoow as blank white, with no additional dropbox green tick/cloud icons.
Also dropbox will widget will show that it's currently syncing a file and doesnt show recently synced files (as though it's stuck/not working), but on dropbox web browser everything is fine.
Dropbox 202.4.5551
Exactly the same symtoms! Phew i am not the one! And yes, it is the version! But how could it be that it isnt the same on all my pcs i work with? How smart is this bug is that it can choose? Where is the solution?
I turned off dropbox, then deleted all what was insde cache folder, turned dropbox on, it turned on faster, i made a test sync of one file and looks like there is no effect on explorer now, i will work today and let u know. Hope it solved it.
I've tried it at least 5 times, no change at all, after 10 minutes freezes as always.
Nothing changed, after few successful syncs, all slows down again. Now i am angry. Fix it fast. I am not going to wait for long, i will change cloud drive till end of the week if this will not be fixed.
It's sad that probably we should start looking for alternatives 😞
