Clean My Mac update caused TOTAL FILE RESYNC
I just updated clean my mac ran it and now my Dropbox is resyncing ALL THE FILES. What went wrong? I don't want this to happen again. Thank you.
Hi, that's Volodymyr from MacPaw, company that developed CleanMyMac app.
Thanks for contacting us on that, we've located what exactly causing that and fixed that. So with the upcoming update of the app this will be fixed.
Have a great day!

FOLKS I HAVE THE SOLUTION. The problem is cache-related. When you remove Dropbox cache files, the application needs to reindex the database.
If you want to avoid this process, add Dropbox cache files to ignore list.
To do this, run CleanMyMac's System Junk module...
...press "Review Details"....
....in the search line type "Dropbox"
...right-click or command-click on located files....
select "Add to Ignore List".
Voila. Next time you Clean, your Dropbox should be fine.

20170723_085447 It doesn't stick. Next time DB files show up again. I uncheck them now. However, it just happened again -- resyncing 400,000+ files. Ugh. I think maintenance may be doing it now?
