Thank you for that, I've had a read and it's interesting. Sadly there's no obvious solution for me as I don't want a new OS profile (way too much on my computer to even think about trying to change it all) and anything at all to do with then adding Dropbox would take days. The slightest change in Dropbox causes it to resync thousands and thousands of files. It's crazy. And turning off every single app on my computer one at a time to figure out what the issue is... barking. The issue began with the new Dropbox update so that's where it should be fixed. I'm no IT person and cannot spend days trying to work everything out, I'm too busy with work and running my business. And then the next update will come along and there will be something else that doesn't work. Sooo frustrating! But thanks anyway, that thread is definitely the same issue. :)
