    Welcome to the forum, yogesh chettiyar! Hope you’re well.

     

    Just to clarify, is syncing stuck on both your computers, or are you trying to navigate through your Dropbox files, and your File Explorer/Finder freezes instead?

     

    Feel free to send me any screenshots you believe may help, and we’ll check this together. 

     

    Also, I'd like to know the OS versions of your computers, as well as the app versions of the Dropbox app you’ve installed on them.

     

    Keep me updated.

    Hi yogesh chettiyar, sorry to jump in here! 

     

    Is it safe to say that you're using our website in order to do that? 

     

    Does this happen only with that specific folder or other ones too?

    Hey yogesh chettiyar, does this happen on a specific browser? 

     

    Would you mind clearing your browser's cache, and also trying a different browser, just to check the behavior there? 

     

    Thank you!
