There are no issues on the sync history. Also it doesn't show any file that is syncing. There are too many folders and files to manually check which file has a X on it.
My app version is v187.4.5691. The number of syncing files is stuck between 10848 and 10855.

Hi again, rokman54! Just to clarify, are you seeing this number, when right clicking on your local Dropbox folder? Can you send me a screenshot of what you see, when visiting its Properties?
In any case, I’d like us to make sure that your desktop app doesn’t sync overall more than 300k files, since this can cause performance issues.

Hey rokman54 - sorry to jump in here, but could you try fixing your hardlinks and permissions as outlined here and let us know if syncing gets stuck at the exact same number of files again?
Thanks so much!

I tried both and it didn't fix the problem. Now the sync is stuck between 12264 and 12268.

I have 204,387 Files, 2,239 Folders.
Also here is my screenshot of the properties on my local dropbox folder. Nothing indicates the number of files to be synced
