The Dropbox desktop app blocks Clipboard
hello
I'm using Dropbox on my PC, and sometimes I run into inconvenient situations, so I'd like to ask a question.
I installed Dropbox on my PC and designated a dropbox folder.
However, I don't know exactly what situation it is when Dropbox synchronizes.
Suddenly my clipboard doesn't work.
Control C+V does not work.
It doesn't work all at once, you have to try several times for it to work. So it is very inconvenient when working with Excel or Word.
If you force quit the Dropbox app, the symptom goes away. Also, the chat window of the messenger app (e.g. KakaoTalk) disappears to block chatting.
Has anyone experienced these symptoms?
Even if I change the PC, I have the same symptoms.
Even though I searched, I couldn't find anyone experiencing the same symptoms as me.

Thanks for letting us know about this, Rapoo.
It's very strange that this is caused by Dropbox.
What is your Windows version?
Also, what is the sync status and version of the Dropbox app?
You can hover over the Dropbox icon in your system tray for this info.
Let me know and we'll go from there.

Hey Rapoo! You can find the syncing status of your Dropbox app by clicking on the small Dropbox icon in your system tray. The syncing status should be at the bottom (syncing/up to date etc).
Also, to clarify, is this something that’s only happening for your Dropbox files, or are you encountering the same behavior when working with other files/folders on your computer?
