This is common with older or less expensive bluetooth headphones. I recently

However, I have found almost no lag using Plantronics or Aftershokz headsets.

So far, no one else is having that issue. If in the next few days, no one else

preventing VDR from seeing those folders?
I don't know. Is there Dropbox support that you could contact?
My primary reading app is VDR,
There are a bunch of other bugs that have cropped up over the last two months.
The developer told me not to contact him again because I was reporting too many.

Yes, I have tried this. I have also tried disconnecting Dropbox from VDR

I know it is a VDR issue because my Dropbox displays everything, and VDR only
finds a few of the main folders.
