    I think this is really a dropbox problem.
    It is really impossible that on all computers during the same day occured a problem.
    Also there are no Dropbox sync icons from that day (I've unistalled OneDrive already and made other steps).

    Sorry to hear this, keithrnorris. What’s your OS version, as well as Dropbox app syncing status and app version? 

     

    Did you notice this issue after a specific update? 

     

    Have you tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling the Dropbox app?

    I've got exactly the same problem since 3 days.

    And strange thing is, it exist on every computer (4) in company.
    WIndows 11 + Dropbox all of them

    Every possible solution in internet was tried by me!

    Same problem here on Windows 11, Dropbox get's stuck, no syncing any more and Explorer is extremely slow. That MUST be a Dropbox Client problem, so many guys here with that problem 😞
