My computer completely hangs up when the file archive.pst tries to sync.

I use a PC with Windows 11. Periodically, my computer completely hangs up when the file archive.pst tries to sync. How can I modify this sync for when I am not using my computer?  

Thank you.

    Dropbox will sync all files whenever it's running and not paused. There's no way to schedule a different sync time for a specific file. You can, however, pause the entire sync process if needed.
