    Hi Imbi, thanks for contacting us.

     

    Are you using Smart Sync on your device? Were these files previously online-only, or local files?

     

    Do you know if there were any recent updates made to your OS?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

Currently, there isn't any specific method to improve the set up you have. 

 

We only urge caution when using an external drive, and to try not to unplug it while the Dropbox desktop application is open and running.

Hi @Jay and also @Rich

 

Thank you Jay for your message. I will have tp leave it at this setup. I just have to make sure, that the dropbox drive is always connected to the System.

 

Take care and have a great day.

Imbi
