You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Dropbox folder load slow (audio files)
We have multiple shared folders, our dropbox folders load perfectly fine when they have only documents inside them. However as soon as you put audio files (.wav / .ogg / etc) inside them, windows explorer (w11) shows the green loading bar & takes a few seconds to process.
I implemented a registry key change below to prevent windows from optimizing folders based on 'music' & restarted the PC however it had made no difference.
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell
Name: FolderType
Value: NotSpecified
Are there any known ways to resolve the loading issues? Files are excluded from AV scanning + windows indexing.
Hi Hannah,
Restarting dropbox did not help, it's affecting all users.
