Hey there yoavain  - sorry to hear about this.

Could you try changing your bandwidth settings and let me know if the issue persists? 

If it does, please send me a screenshot showing the exact status of the app on your computer so I can have a further look into this for you.

You can always look at the Dropbox icon in your taskbar (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) and see if it is done syncing. When Dropbox is fully synced then you should see a tick followed by the words “Up to date” on the menu.

If you do not see this then can you please let me know what the message being displayed reads?

Thanks!
