Dropbox is re-syncing my files again?
Why on earth is this happening ?!? its resyncing everything again nothing has been changed why ?
I don't recall any changes to the OS etc. It didn't say re-indexing, it said updating and the number of files kept increasing. After one or two days it was still going like crazy.
I found online somewhere that I should delete filecache.dbx. I did that, restarted dropbox. Now it did re-index all files, but this only took a couple of hours. I've not had a problem since.
I think it would be nice if Dropbox would pay attention to this sort of thing in a more timely fashion for paying customers.
The programmers must be stupid. Why when I make a mistake of disconnecting my dropbox account by removing the external disk does it resync EVERYTHING ! Just stupid. And dropbox have still not improved their search capablities and simple things like putting files in order you last looked at them.
Same problem here, for the second time now! Is anyone from dropbox monitoring this forum? If so, an official response would be nice.
