Hey shrimpgordita, does this only happen with files in your Dropbox folder or any file in your file explorer?
If you close the Dropbox app completely, does the issue persist with the app closed?
It seems to only happen when I search or try to open files in my dropbox using windows search Files in my downloads folders don't show up under "best match" in the windows search and instead show up under "this PC-Documents." For those files, I get an immediate preview or details pane to the right of the search results.
I'm still having this issue on all 4 of my windows PCs!!!
