Hey dmitriy1980, thanks for flagging this with us.

 

Is this error affecting your computer's performance in any way or do you notice this under specific circumstances? 

 

Could you clarify your computer's exact OS version and the version and status of the desktop app as well?

 

If you could also send us a screenshot of the error as well, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

I'm on Windows 10 Enterprise edition. Specifically on 19045.3208.

 

Dropbox version: 180.3.4837

    Thanks for the additional info here, dmitriy1980.

     

    It looks like you're on the beta version of the Dropbox app, so in this case, let's try to install the stable one, to see if that helps.

     

    To do so, go to this page and disable the "early releases" option.

     

    Afterwards, reinstall the Dropbox app and let us know how it goes.

      I will check for the next couple of days but this is an on-going issue for months if not years.

        It appears that I continue to get the same issue reported in the Event Viewer logs.
