Backup to Dropbox [edited title for clarity]

It's taking five to six minutes to backup to dropbox. This is a recent problem. Until several weeks ago it took less than one minute. What's wrong. Is it Quicken, Dropbox or Microsoft?

Hi @""John Schurman" ,
Check the options to Dropbox, make sure that Dropbox is not syncing when you back up.

ALSO, do NOT let Dropbox backup your main Q data File. Doing so will interfere in Q's operation in multiple ways.Instead, direct DropBox to backup the Q backup file, after you've created it.Q user since DOS version 5
