Hey there, miramira, let's jump right into this! 

 

Can you clarify for me what’s the current app version of your Dropbox app, as well as its syncing status? You can see that by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your system tray with your mouse.

 

When did this start happening for you?

 

Let me know!

Hi, I am in contact with your support team about this issue and they have "escalated" the issue further up.

It has been going on for a while - but it was only recently I figured out that it was Dropbox that seems to cause the problem. There is no problem with syncing and Dropbox is working as intended (except, obviously, for freezing my computer now and then)
