Dropbox sync is freezing my computer
Hi,
I am a paying user of Dropbox. I am using Windows 10. A few weeks back I have upgraded to v 76.4.126. I have enabled smart sync for all files except a few with default settings as online only. ...
- Hi Lusil,
In my case Dropbox's smart sync + a large number of files might be causing trouble with my explorer. Dropbox was always stuck in downloading mode. By limiting the download speed to 100kbps I could improve the situation. But I still faced freezing a couple of times daily even after a fresh install of OS. At present I am using a new laptop, and things are working fine on that.
I would suggest you uninstall Dropbox and then reinstall it. Then progressively sync small number of files at a time. Hopefully this would work. That's what I did on the new laptop and it's working fine.
