How can I "reset" dropbox on linux (clearing cache didn't work?)
I keep my desktop and laptop synced using Dropbox (with the added benefit of online backups).
A couple of days ago, for no apparent reason, Dropbox on my laptop started re-uploading/downloading...

Hi ldorigo, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
There can be various reasons as to why the Dropbox desktop application would force a resync of the entire Dropbox account.
Currently, there isn't a way to restart it like you're asking. Are there any files that don't have the green icon on them should that they're synced?
This will help me to assist further!

Hi,
I'm not sure, I don't use a file manager - but using `dropbox-cli filestatus`/`dropbox-cli ls`, it looks like most files are currently being synced?
