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.
