Desktop app is syncing some files forever
Hi All,

- 9 years ago13.4.21 seems to have worked for me on Win 7. The DropBox support people did respond and we're asking questions but since it seems to be working now I'm happy.
- 9 years agoI think I found the problem on my machine. But there must be a bug. The problem always starts when I try to rename a file. This copying and deleting the file in one stroke does not work on my Windows 10 32-bit computer. Best wishes

I use Dropbox to synchronise files on two computers while delevoping embedded firmware and it works brilliantly. However, I have just added a third computer and it repeatedly gets stuck syncing. If I unlink it then re-link it first says it is syncing 40,000+ files. The number gradually reduces until around 15 (different each time I repeat), then stops. The Setting menu says it is indexing 4 files. If I modify a file on one of the other computers the number will increase, but never decreases.
No problems with the other computers. All run Windows 10 64-bit. The new computer is a Lenovo Yoga 700

So the same happens to me. I reinstalled it several times. Every time the same. It downloads almost 99 percent and then it stucks... I see that my hope the problem might be the 32-bit system is it not. Thanks! My problem computer is also a Lenovo... I will try and stopp the update system of Lenovo now.
