Hello everyone,
I wanted to follow up on this issue you're experiencing. Let's check some things together:
1) First please review this article on possible reasons that could affect the performance of Dropbox on your device.
Some of the reasons this may be happening is incorrect file permissions or symlinks in your Dropbox.
2) Make sure you have configured your Antivirus/Firewall software to allow Dropbox to run.
3) Make sure you are not running a Beta version of the Dropbox app :
1. Log in to www.Dropbox.com using your web browser.
2. Click on your name at the top right corner of the page.
3. Click on "Settings".
4. From the "Profile" tab, scroll down to the section titled "Preferences" and uncheck the box next to "Include me in early releases" if it is checked.
5. Then download the latest stable version of the Dropbox desktop application. Once you install the stable build, it might take some time to re-index the files and sync any pending changes.4) If none of the above won't fix this and the issue persists, please reach out to our support team so they can investigate and help.
Thank you.
