Hi everyone, I'm using Dropbox (firmware n. 166.3.2831) on my gaming laptop running Windows 11. Everything run smoothly until some days ago, when Dropbox suddenly became very slow when clicking to open folder or file: it takes MANY seconds (10-15 seconds at least). This causes a huge slowdown in the user experience, I can't even work in these circumstances.
Of course this is a problem related to the Dropbox folder only, local folders run as smooth as they should.
How can I fix that? Thanks.
EDIT: apparently there's a conflict between Dropbox and iCloud for Windows; deleting the latter, Dropbox app works.

I just tried this suggestion and installed the stable build. I wasn't sure whether to install the standard installer or the offline installer (doesn't appear to be a 64 bit), so I tried both of them. No difference. It takes forever to open a small file; no difference as to what type of file they are all opening too slow to be acceptable.
The problem I've encountered involves a significant delay when using keyboard arrow keys for scrolling within the Dropbox folder. Additionally, the search function within Dropbox is also affected by this sluggish behaviour.
A growing frustration is that any updates made will either not take effect at all, take several seconds to reflect in the Connected Boards widget, or just never show up in the widget and we have to refresh to see the changes. Given the slow loading times, this only exacerbates the issue.
Does anybody have any tips on how we can speed up our Monday? If we were to fracture our contact board into several smaller boards, is there a way to quickly maintain all the two-way connections we have between our contact board and all our separate deals boards?
Thanks for pinpointing this issue! In fact, one of the effective ways to speed up board creation and simplify contact management is through CRM automation. This can be done in your CRM software by creating multiple workflows that are equipped with AI (Artificial Intelligence). Ultimately, the goal of CRM automation is to improve loading times and make workflows smoother. With CRM automation, you can connect multiple boards, so that data gets updated synchronously. This way, you can quickly maintain all the bi-directional connections.
Here in 2024, we are still experiencing this issue. Pages take awhile to load, text is deleted as it is typed because it is not registering the key taps, pages stutter and glitch and columns cannot be edited until a full page reload is performed.
I have also noticed that if I try to do batch actions on Connect Boards columns on boards, that it can take 10+ seconds to update (sometimes resulting in a crash, again, requiring restarting the browser).
Been trying to deal with this for months, the more we use Monday that slower is gets, we even upgraded to enterprise but no difference has been seen, screens load slow, changes sometimes get lost while things are buffering, this is across different platforms and team members across the US.
Overall, because each single thing we try to do takes to long to load, doing the most basic of tasks (Eg: adding a new item in, linking it to the main board) and then the subsequent waits in refreshes takes anywhere from 2-3 minutes up to 10 minutes.
Could you please take a short screen recording and send this to our support team? You can reach them via sup...@monday.com.
This does sound like it may be a bug within your account, so this would best be handled on a 1:1 basis with our support team as we may need to ask for personal details, permission to log into your account etc.
We too are experiencing speed issues. We are thinking about moving items from our main boards into several boards so that the main board is not trying to run a bunch of automations all at the same time. Do you think this would help at all?
These issues REALLY slow down our workflow, which is crappy for a system that is supposed to automate workflows and make things more efficient. Monday.com support is a useless time suck with repeated stock email asking for a loom video with info already provided (same experience as JakeT)
I love the features offered by Monday.com. They are perfect for managing my business processes. Dashboards are an excellent tool for tracking metrics and reporting to clients. Unfortunately the reliability, latency issues and automation quirks make me wonder whether I made the right choice.
Hi everyone. I just upgraded my trial account for monday.com and have configured small automations. My experience is very similar to what is outlined in previous comments. Before our company goes any further with monday.com, we are wondering what your experience has been with monday.com customer service and their success in providing solutions for this issue?
Sounds like multiple other people are having this same issue. We are now too. Has this been addressed yet? We are no where near 1000 items on our boards and still seeing quite a lag. i am currently rolling this out to other employees and the lag time is making it difficult to train and making me question the feasibility of using monday.
My daily use of my base involves a lot of calculations. Lately, AT is slow to the point of being unusable while doing these calculations. The base just hangs at "saving" until I manually refresh. I've split the base into four so that the base I'm now working in has a quarter of the records I used to work with, but this has not improved performance. Is there anything else I can try?
It is not always slow, but it has times where it just doesn't allow me to work as I should. I tried closing all other apps and windows, restarting my device and re-opening the workflows. None of this really help as if it started doing this, it seems to be consistent for a couple of days. I then finish what I'm busy with, with some frustration, and when I get back to Alteryx in a couple days, it runs better before running into the same issues.
I have the same issue with the same version, which is something I've never previously experienced in 4 years of using the product. Have you resolved it? I keep checking for updates and have also installed the patch without success.
I've experienced this across multiple versions, don't really have a solution, but a couple of situations and half-workaround,
I do believe mapping macros (Likely from a network shared drive location) can cause this (If i work without connecting to my vpn, thus not connecting to the macros, I experience no lag, if I do connect I do experience the lag).
Also I experience this worse as my workflow gets bigger/more complex (nested macros...)
But you can disable "Auto configure" which helps but it does suck to lose this functionality, I believe auto configure will rescan the macros or something after every change in the workflow
If I disconnect from the internet, the workflow UI is a quick experience again.
I'm not sure what they changed, but the program is horrifically slow. I would say unusable. It should not take 35 seconds to paste a single formula tool.
im suffering with slowness, yesterday i decided to go visit IT they wiped my profile, as the install we have at work actually adds to your LOCAL folder, increasing the folder size by 2.8GB. ive now installed to a developer area i have, which horribly added ELEVATED, so canvas wasnt DRAG and DROP-ABLE. i have now just moved that folder to a c:\nonad\ folder, and its seeming to be working without elevated. "WIN".
but its still really slow, not responding window, and even windows has crashed messages. I removed the default view of SQL connections from VISUAL back to text. This speeds up that portion, but from reading above, someone else removed some auto config on macros. Maybe theres some logic being performed, which slows down. i will need to find a way to make this software run lean.
Has anyone found a fix to this? I've had it now for about a month (version 2023.2.1.7 on Windows 11). Don't know what triggered it, but can't seem to make it run like it used to. I've tried uninstalling/re-installing, rolling back to a prior version, all to no avail. Only thing that makes it more responsive is to turn off the auto-configure... but you really shouldn't have to!
Guys, We have recently purchased 3 copies of this to work from home and it is runing really slow. Simple tasks like moving a finder/exporer window stutters and there is a delay on absolutely everything. Any ideas? This is happening on MAC to MAC and PC to MAC.
Hi @User20 Welcome to the GoTo Community. I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing slow connections with GoToMyPC. I recommend trying the GoTo Connection Wizard on your host computer to detect the best connection settings for your network.
This summer I had the unexpected opportunity to take an eight-hour drive across the beautiful country of Norway. I say this was unexpected because, until the morning of my departure, I thought I was going to enjoy a nice relaxing train ride through some epic scenery, all while propping my feet up to read, write, and play with my kids. But alas, that vision was not to be.
According to Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow, there are two systems that drive how we think (and consequently the results we achieve): System 1 for fast, intuitive emotional responses (gut-based decision-making) and System 2 for slower, more deliberative, and more logical thinking (strategic decision-making). With increased pressures on time, attention, and workloads, the temptation is to default to System 1 thinking, cranking through tasks at light speed, often at the expense of quality, accuracy, other people, and even our own happiness.
