Loading Excel Files from C: Drive is Slow
When DropBox is running, my Windows 10 File Explorer is slow (8 seconds) to open Excel Files on C: drive
When DropBox is not running, File Explorer loads Excel files instantly.
It happens on all ...
I had the same issue and found a workaround which works for me
-> Open TaskManager
-> Navigate to Startup
-> Select Dropbox and push the mouse's right button for properties
-> Got to the Table Compatibility
-> Check the checkbox for "run this program as an administrator"
-> Reboot your computer
Dropbox wil run as administrator
It solved the problem for me
I also reinstalled Dropbox but it didn't help.

Dropbox Community ModeratorJust to cover all bases, when you notice this issue is the sync status of the app showing "up to date" or "syncing"?
Also, have you rebooted your device recently?
The app shows 'up to date' and when something changes 'syncing'.
I've recordered small video so you could better understand the problem
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k70pb7z4ywhyynf/dropbox.mp4?dl=0- stage1 - run 3 xls files without dropbox running - very fast startup
- open dropbox and do the same - only first run is fast, all subsequent runns are very slow
- then I run directly excel program (without any files preopened) and sropbox running - startup is fast (just to show that issue is related to some kind of DDE or COM)
- I quit dropbox and run against 3 test files - startup is fast again- My pc has exactly the same trouble.

Hi there KuotaKevel; thanks for joining our discussion here and sorry to hear you're also affected by this.
To further investigate, would it be OK if I reached out via the email addresses that are connected to your Community profiles jpinson, quadroval & KuotaKevel?
