Hello, thank you very much for your answers.
I have done the advanced re-installation and everything remains the same, no difference.
Regarding the read-only attribute, I have removed it, and also in all subfolders and files, and everything remains the same. That is so by default, since by installing dropbox in a different directory, the same "Dropbox" parent directory that is generated has the same read-only attribute.
I'm a bit desperate, what could have happened to the computer for this to happen suddenly?... also in safe mode it works fine...
Hi there.
I'm just coming in to tell you about the quick experience I've had with dropbox support. It turns out that a person suggested that I create another windows profile, also an administrator, as my user, and log in there to my dropbox account to see if it worked. In that case they could not do much since it is a problem of some windows parameter or privilege or something. Once this new user is created, and logged into dropbox, after the quick synchronization, I can enter the directory perfectly, open the files quickly and without blocking, so we can do little else. Now I have to wait or continue investigating to see why it has stopped working for my main user, if there have been no installations or anything weird, one day it just stopped working fine, although as I said it synchronized perfectly and opened the application without problem, and even the files from the system tray icon, the problem is the access to the dropbox windows folder, which keeps thinking blocked....
Thank you very much for the help!!
