    Thanks for the report Bob2019 - I've passed all of your comments to your existing ticket and I'd advise to take it from there as this isn't affecting a lot of users and is probably a device specific issue. The best way to handle such queries is through our Official Channels as we'd need additional information to troubleshoot further. 

    While we're at it, have you by any chance tried any of my previous suggestions?

It isnt something I have ever seen at all CB65.

Have you tried the offline installer from www.dropbox.com/downloading?

    I tried the reinstall of Dropbox and had the same issue.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Hopefully someone will figure out the problem.

      Hey there CB65 & hendo42 - sorry to hear about this issue with your Windows' File Explorer. 

      As a first step, could you please try a clean, advanced re-install of our software using our offline installer and let me know if this persists? 

      Moreover, would you mind sharing a screenshot of the error message you get ( if any)?  

      Thank you in advance for your cooperation on this one.

        I did try a fresh reload of Dropbox as was suggested.  I got the same problem.  Below is screen shot.  I notice the first time I add a file to the Quick Access list File Explorer works fine.  I seems with a second file is add to the Quick Access list File Explorer hangs and you get this "Working on it" message.
