Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @lasource.

 

Did this issue start recently, or have you had it for a while?

 

Did you notice that it started happening after some kind of update?

 

Which version of the Dropbox app are you using? You can hover over your Dropbox icon to see the version.

 

Let me know.

Hi Hannah, see video, the version is 198.4.7.615
I am running on HP z840 workstation 2X Xeon chips. I have rtx 3060 gpu

It occurs as soon as I run drop box app. I have rebuilt my system so new install.

Thanks

Hey @lasource, hope it’s OK to jump in. 

 

Can you uninstall and reinstall the Dropbox app on your device, and let me know if the issue persists? 

 

If it does, we’ll check this further.

Sorry to hear this happens, @jody C. Can you clarify the syncing status and app version of your desktop app? Did you have any recent OS updates?

 

If you quit the Dropbox app after checking its syncing status, does the issue go away immediately?

 

Does the issue also occur on the Dropbox website? Have you tried different browsers, as a test?
