     Hey AntennaMan!

    Thanks for following up with us!

    It looks like this is not a Dropbox specific issue, and it's appearing with other cloud programs as well.

    Now, it'd be wise to note, that since this isn't an issue caused by Dropbox or pertaining just to us, we're not able to provide a precise solution.

    I'd definitely suggest checking in with Microsoft about this, as well just to make sure you've exhausted all options and to also let them know about this. 

    Give me a nudge if you have any other questions!

Hey everyone, apologies for the delay in getting back to you all here!

 

Just so I can have a little more info to have a better look into this with you, can you just let me know:

  • The version of the desktop app you have installed.
  • The OS version your device is running.

Let me know - thanks!

Hi Daphne,

 

Thanks for looking into this for us.

 

This issue has persisted for over 2 years now so I don't think it is just an issue with the current version of Dropbox or Windows, but in case it helps:

  • Dropbox - v94.4.384
  • Windows 10 - Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.720)

Thanks,

 

Joe
