I know it's been a few days now, but thanks for (finally!!!) providing changelogs again!

[samertm]

@Martin H.53 Of course, we do it for you all 🙂

@samertm - possible issue with this build for you guys over on this thread. 🙂

P.s. thanks for the change logs as well!

Why is it taking such an extreme amount of duration to start up when either booting up, or if I exit and reopen the desktop version 53.4.67.  It's taking over 10 minutes easily.

I'm having the same problem.

@Mark Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out!

@TrevorFox @emerson8 Thanks for reporting that issue, I'll investigate it.

Having the same issue.  Client seems to work on my surface but hangs indefinitely as "Starting..." on my desktop workstation. 

[samertm]

@riwamoto Thanks for the report! We've seen an increase in startup time for a small number of Windows users with large Dropboxes, and we're investigating it.

@riwamoto @TrevorFox To help our investigation, do you think you can download v51.4.66 and see if the problem with Dropbox saying it's "Starting..." for a long time goes away?

Here's the download link: https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?build=51.4.66&plat=win&type=full

You don't need to uninstall Dropbox first, just install it from the link above and let it run.

Thanks so much!
