Windows file explorer crashes when renaming Dropbox folders/files

Question

I've been using DropBox happily with Windows File Explorer for years.&nbsp; I'm on Windows 11 and fully updated on the Windows and DropBox.&nbsp;&nbsp;I've recently hit a problem when I try to rename files or folders in DropBox.&nbsp; The renaming happens, but then the spinning blue circle comes on, and after about 5s, File Explorer crashes.&nbsp; When File Explorer restarts, the change has happened but I have to navigate all the way back to where I was working.&nbsp; So nothing disastrous, but a real pain, and clearly shouldn't happen.&nbsp;&nbsp;This behaviour doesn't happen with non-DropBox files/folders.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have done a system file integrity check.&nbsp; I have deleted and re-installed DropBox completely.&nbsp; But the problem remains.&nbsp;&nbsp;My DropBox version is 220.4.4126.&nbsp; The DropBox is nearly 100Gb in total, but there aren't any super-big files there.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any ideas how I might fix this?&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi wetenhr, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
If you quit the Dropbox desktop application entirely from the system tray, does the behavior occur again when renaming files and folders?
