Loading Excel Files from C: Drive is Slow
When DropBox is running, my Windows 10 File Explorer is slow (8 seconds) to open Excel Files on C: drive
When DropBox is not running, File Explorer loads Excel files instantly.
It happens on all ...
I had the same issue and found a workaround which works for me
-> Open TaskManager
-> Navigate to Startup
-> Select Dropbox and push the mouse's right button for properties
-> Got to the Table Compatibility
-> Check the checkbox for "run this program as an administrator"
-> Reboot your computer
Dropbox wil run as administrator
It solved the problem for me

Dropbox StaffHey jpinson, thanks for checking in with us.
If you haven't already, could you have a look at this article, which mentions a few ways to tackle an overall computer slow-down?
Check it out and let me know if it helps. Cheers!
Unfortunately, the tips did not work for me.
There is only 1 small Excel file in my Dropbox folder.
The delay (8 seconds) happens even when opening very small Excel files in another folder on the C: (SSD) drive.
When I exit Dropbox, there is no delay when opening Excel files from Windows 10 File Explorer.
Any other ideas?
I forgot to mention that CPU utilization is always under 10% and Memory usage is at 5GB of 16GB.
