Thank you for all the details, amazing job LynnCC01!
Do you see the number of syncing files decrease?
If not, let's try something. Please note that it is very important to follow these steps specifically in the order I provide them.- Make sure the Dropbox desktop application is running
- Click on the Dropbox icon in the system tray and then click your profile picture or initials
- Select 'Preferences'
- Click on the 'Account' tab, and then click in the window under the tab (just anywhere will do)
- Hold down the 'alt+H' keys
- Click on the 'Fix Hardlinks' button
- You may be prompted for your a username and password, this is your computer login credentials, not your Dropbox account ones
If the above steps don’t resolve your issue, please repeat steps 1→5, but at step 6, this time click on the “Fix Permissions” button.

Dropbox StaffHey LynnCC01, wishing you a great Monday!
If you could let me know the status of your desktop app, that'd be amazing.
Also, what version of the app do you have installed?
You'd either see: xxx.3.xxx or xxx.4.xxx when hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon.
Let me know, and we'll take it from there!
Hi Lori, thanks for responding! When I hover over my little icon it gives me version 121.4.4267
In regards to the status, it says "syncing" with the blue circle and arrow and has been saying that for at least a few days if not more. I am hoping that was what you meant when asking for the status!
