Dropbox app freezing Windows Explorer

[OscarV]

Hi!

I'm having troubles with the Dropbox desktop app. It is syncing correctly, and I can access it just fine through my Windows Explorer, but after selecting a file it crashes my Explorer.

I have tried several fixes, including making an exception for Dropbox in my Virusscanner and checking Firewall Issues. Also tried re-installing it (several times). 

Can you suggest an alternative fix?

Kind regards,

Oscar

I am also still having this issue. I tried literally every single troubleshooting step here and nothing. The problem is only fixed when Dropbox is uninstalled.

EDIT: So I noticed that my iCloud Drive folder was the only other folder that would freeze up when selected. When I started up the iCloud application, the problem suddenly went away for both iCloud and Dropbox folders. Strange...

Check the windows event log. My issue got fixed by sending the appcrash events

For this case, it sounds like both apps are monitor a common folder

Hi, Jay!

Has there been any luck on resolving this issue? The dropbox is practically non-responsive in the Windows Explorer, but works from within the app or inside of other program's dialog boxes. I've tried nearly every fix on this thread; is this still ongoing in 98.4.198?

Try Clearing your temporary files

rum this string in cmd, temp and then %temp% delete all the files in these folders.
