Will it Fix or Improve…

Windows Explorer Experience

Opening new Explorer slow
Opening select files from certain programs slow

User Experience?

Backups

Syncback

Moving Dropbox Folder

OLD = H:\xl\Dropbox

New = D:\xl\Dropbox

Dropbox was logged out

Logged in but didn’t select target directory

Moved folder

Selected target directory

Dropbox nicely warned me that selecting D:\xl\Dropbox would lead to double Dropbox in the path, i.e. D:\xl\Dropbox\Dropbox
Changed target to D:\xl and then Dropbox chose the right Dropbox folder.
Nice Job Overall, Win for Dropbox over SharePoint
