    You should be able to see which files are attempting to sync in the desktop app by following these steps.

No worries, mobin68, and thanks for the screenshots.

 

Does the app just show you that it's "Syncing..." without a number of files left to sync next to that?

 

And if so, does it remain stuck like that for a long time? Or just normal syncing time, depending on the number/size of the files you are syncing?

    Hi mobin68, have you tried checking if there is a limit to the bandwidth in the Dropbox desktop application, which could be slowing the sync process?
