It seems like Dropbox is taking longer and longer to start-up. While it's starting up, other programs are very slow, almost unresponsive. It took over 45 minutes to go from starting to indexing today. I have Win 7 pro, 64-bit, 16gb ram, and i5 2.4 GHz processor. I am one of multiple people in our office having the same issue. Others are on Win 7/8. The issues does subside each morning, but as I stated, these periods seem to be getting longer and longer. What can we do to address this?

Hi Kevin,
Sorry about the issues you are experiencing. Can you say if the other people in your office are also on the beta build (v47.3 series)? Also, can you make a post under the account that you are having trouble with? That can help us investigate.
Thanks,
John
