The Dropbox desktop app gets stuck when I delete files

The Dropbox desktop app gets stuck when I delete files

When I delete any file, dropbox gets stuck, restarting the computer fixes it, but when deleting again, it still happens. Tried everything from reinstalling the programme, holding down ALT to fix it, still no fix!

dropbox did not make an exception update

What I mean by stuck is: dropbox can't sync files, it keeps showing that it's syncing X files in the middle, plus there's a delay of ten seconds or so when you use the right-click thing in the file manager

When the above situation occurs, dropbox can not exit normally, and can not pause the synchronization, you can only restart the computer!

I reinstalled win10 and the dropbox client and the problem is solved!
