Community ManagerHi Everybody,
Thanks again to everyone who reported this. Our Engineering team has implemented a fix. These sync issues should resolve automatically, or if you restart the Dropbox application.

Hello, I tried before what rdmetal suggested to do, and blocked updater, then installed 201.4.5551, then i read ur post, and i unblocked updater and run dropbox, at first few seconds it closed by it self and started again with good old v202.4.5551 version. So i tested it now, and again it stuck. I am working on WinOLS and all my project are in dropbox folder, i work like this for last 5 years and yes while project open in winols dropbox cant sync it, but after i finish the project, it takes 5-20 minutes, dropbox was finishing syncing and all fine, now it says that there is sync problem and when i press on button near it it openes an empty window, explorer is stuck mean while.... after restarting dropbox it syncs the project and work fine. Where is the fix? i restarted the app, restarted the pc, i dont see update to new version or something, it feels like it stuck less, but it still stuck and i see white icons....
Right now i tested it after restart, i opened a project and closed it within 30 seconds, dropbox still run into error, cant sync 1 file and explorer is done, after i pause and start sync again there writing isnt going anywhere and explorer is stuck harder....
