Interminable indexing after latest update (v196.4.6900) - Mac OS Ventura 13.6.6
After the latest update, all file sync is now on hold while the entire Dropbox is indexing. It's been indexing now for 2 days, and there's still 276,665 files left with the progress bar barely moving...
- Thanks Jay.
I restarted in Safe Mode, then restarted again and it seems to have cleared the problem. This may be worth doing for anyone having the same issues, especially for people still on older versions of the OS.

Dropbox StaffHey peludo - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you try adjusting your bandwidth settings through the desktop app's preferences and/or rebooting your computer and internet router?
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks Walter. I tried all three. Changing the bandwidth to ‘don’t limit’ sped it up ever so slightly but it’s still on 145,000 files, and it’s throttled the internet completely as to make it unusable.
Restarting didn’t make any discernible difference.
Any other ideas?
