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.
Thought it was just me but my mac book air was running hot and realised it was trying to sync 117,000 files even though I update one or two. My desktop is doing the same and taking up all the bandwidth so slowing the PC down to unusable. The file k often work on has not updated and so I have two versions. I only spotted it because the numbers were wrong /different. This is very very poor as this is exactly what I was trying to avoid.
I am having serious doubts over drop box and may well cancel my subscriptions.
This is frankly RUBBISH
