I have found the best way round this dump Dropbox sync app. Loooong story.
Because of all the issues I have had with apps and explorer failing because of dropbox I decided to remove Dropbox app off my PC and look elsewhere for a solution. I am now using a free application to sync my entire Data drive to a folder on a NAS
Yet another thing Dropbox app is incapable of doing But FREE open source apps have no problems doing it.
Anyway now my explorer works perfectly and does not crash on right click send mail and my expensive applications no longer have issues with their files being synced while I am trying to do work.
So now to sync with Dropbox, to that end I have another low spec PC that is running Dropbox app and it syncs to Dropbox. Small problem Dropbox app will not sync to mapped drives?????. Anywho I had to find a work around get it to look like a folder on a local drive. I can post this if anyone needs to know how to do.
So now I don't need to worry about a force sync button, it just takes a while for the data to get to Dropbox.
ALL this just because Dropbox app is not quite right or finished or what ever other excuse / misdirection tactic Dave C or anyone else wants to give us.
