Dropbox StaffHey Shawn B.14, I hope you're well today!
After some updates or reinstallations, it would be expected that the desktop app does a quick reindex of your files. However, the stuck syncing seems to be the problem here.
Can you try the following steps to see if they do the trick:
- Click the Dropbox icon in your system tray.
- Click the profile pic/initials icon in the top right of the window.
- Choose "Preferences..."
- Go to the "Account" tab.
- While holding the Space bar key, click "Fix Hardlinks".
If you don't see any progress in the syncing status after a short period of time, please try the above again but instead choose "Fix permissions".
You can try this with both devices, but I'd suggest trying the steps with workstation 2 first.
Let me know how it goes!
Tried all the fixes suggested by @Daphne and still not working. This is clearly a widespread issue. I have 3 machines that are having the same stuck on connecting/synching issue.
