Hey mikeshick - sorry to jump in here, but could you let us know if the app is still stuck at the exact same number of files?
In that case, could you click on your account's picture in the app and click on the view sync issues button? Is anything showing there perhaps?
Also, I know you might have already given this a go, but have you tried adjusting your bandwidth settings to see if that makes a difference?
