Quick Look flickering on macOS 26.2

Thanks Megan. I did reference that thread in my post. My symptoms persist and the resolution did not work for me. The other difference I noted above is that it started with Mac OS 26.0

Hey joehanna - could you try reinstalling the app on your computer and let us know if this persists?

    Thank you for jumping in on this Walter. I have tried reinstalling the app in the past and pointing it to the existing folder but it still syncs everything up and sometimes creates conflicts. I have almost 1.3TB of storage on Dropbox which I am hesitant to blow away and start again unless you can tell me it will definitely fix the problem. It takes days to resync as I do not use "Online only" settings - every file is fully synchronised with the cloud, some are gigabytes in size. I am basically out of action during this time.

      Thanks for your feedback here, joehanna.

      Can I ask, if you simply quit the Dropbox app, does the issue persist with the app closed?
