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
I'm having exactly the same reprodusable issue. When dropbox is running .xsl or .xlsx files are opening very slow - about 10 seconds delay before Excel logo. Right after I quite dropbox agent in the tray - xls files are opening immediately. When I re-run dropbox I experience delayed opening again.
I use Excel 2010 and Windows 10. My rig is really good, it's core i7, 16gb RAM and SSD so can't be lack of performance.
It's my daily workflow to write excel reports at the end of the day, drop box is running all the time too.
The problem began emerging about a week ago, maybe a bit more.

Dropbox StaffHey jpinson, could you try another browser?
If that doesn't do the trick, could you check your email's inbox?
I tried Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Opera browsers and cleared history in each and it doesn't view the ticket either.
At least I do get emails from DropBox about responses to my questions.
Any other ideas?
