Perpetually "Syncing (3 files remaining)"
I recently upgraded to a new iMac (IS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1) and transferred all my files, programs and settings from the Time Capsule backup from my older Mac.
Dropbox seemed to transfer fi...
Thanks for the help. I also identified the files that were causing the trouble (in Mac OSX, in the finder, follow the blue 'syncing' symbol) and renamed the folder containing the files. Problem solved.
This thing drove me mad for months. At some point I tried the unlink/relink method but it didn't work.
While reading this thread and trying some tips, I clicked the tray icon, and then clicked the settings (gear wheel) icon on the top-right corner, which opens a popup menu.
After a few times, I realized there's a disabled menu line there, saying "Can't sync file X (access denied)". True enough, I couldn't even open the file from Window Explorer. I got the same "Access Denied" message.
Eventually, I:
- Rebooted into Safe Mode
- Moved the problematic files (I had 2 of 'em) out of the Dropbox folder
- Rebooted normally again, and
- Moved the files back into the Dropbox folder.
Problem solved, case closed.
I just had to sign-in and share my experience here. Hope this helps someone.
