Hi Walter,

sry for that. The problem is with files and folders inside Dropbox folder only. Desktop app is running.

Thanks for clarifying that for me Hammermed 

 

Can you also let me  know the OS of your devices and the app's status and version as shown in the system tray of the affected computer(s)?  

 

Is it 'up to date' or syncing perhaps? Approximately, how many files you've got stored in your Dropbox folder and syncing locally by the way?

    The application synchronizes correctly and has the status- synchronized. Using Ctrl+C we can copy files, folders. But still r-click crushes explorer.exe.

    Dropbox version 183.4.7058

    Folders are syncing locally

    space used from 80MB to 4,5GB od different comps
