Hi mikeshick, thanks for letting me know.
Well, the performance of the Dropbox application starts to decline after reaching about 300,000 files.
If you have around 2-4 million locally, then it's expected that it's not going to work the way it's indented to.
Hi eduard5, I hope you're doing well!
Would you be able to share some additional info with me, such as the device's OS, syncing status and when did you notice this behavior?
If you could also let me know how many files you have syncing locally inside your Dropbox folder, that'd be amazing.
