Dropbox stuck on sync or index
hi all, my dropbox in my all computers just stop syncing or stuck on indexing a few days ago.
i notice that if i use old version (114.4.426) of the app everything is back to normal but the app...
Hi all,
Have had the sync problem for several days now and upon trying to solve the issue, I quit OneDrive, basically the solution to my problem. Machine is peaceful now, no more heating of the laptop, no more 6000+rpm fans. I guess Onedrive and Dropbox continuously sync the same files, as the other program "changes" something in the file, although it is nothing of the sort.
When using multiple cloud sync storage programs, do not store the same file in a folder you sync with the other program, that could be a solution.
Cheers!

Interesting, Leen K. I do actually also have OneDrive running, nobody had suggested that before. I am going to try this right away. Maybe this will solve the problem.
On our end, the past week and a half has been clean - no instances of this particular bug as far as I'm aware. Dropbox is our only cloud storage solution, so I guess there are multiple triggers to the same generic issue.
Hi there,
I started having this issue today as well. Dropbox is stuck syncing 2 files and it's driving me nuts. I'm on an iMac Pro running Big Sur 11.2.1. I restarted the machine, restarted Dropbox, fixed hardlinks, fixed permissions, but nothing. It's still stuck, and I'm unable to upload anything. We use this for work, and have thousands of files on there. Never encountered this problem until today. Not sure what else to do?
