    Thank you for reporting this, it is related to a known issue a number of users experienced last week. The team have now resolved this and it should be working again.

Hi l0uis, welcome to the Community. 

Have you, by any chance, tried to unlink-relink your desktop app? Do you see any difference after doing so? 

If not, please let me know what’s the exact OS of your device, and we’ll take it from there.

Give me a nudge, when you’ve got more updates!

Hello Nancy,

 

unlinking and relinking the account has fixed the issue. Great relief as the dropbox app was slowing down my pc at a great extend. 

 

Thank you for your support
