stuck at syncing
Been stuck on Synching for hours not, seems to be doing nothing.. rebooted and dropbox comes right back to synching.... see photo
Thanks, it just says "Syncing", no files or number of files.... When I first upgraded it said Syncing 200,000 files or so and then went down to 0 for hours, then it said "indexing" for a while... now it just says "syncing" with no files nothing else... I'll let it run all night and see what the morning brings.... I did upload a few photos 45 minutes ago and they uploaded no issues... See attached
Oh CRAP!!! As I'm writing this message I got this message:
AND..... the syncing finished.... LOL
Looks like I just needed a few more hours of patience..... 🙂
Thanks for you immediate help!!!

Hi KateRobert, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you confirm where your Dropbox folder is currently located on your machine?
This will help me to assist further!

I did the upgrade to the new MacOS dropbox today (the one where Vault is no longer available (only on cloud)). It took a long time to synch files as expected but then got stuck after 8 hours or so at "Synching".
