You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Sync is getting stuck and won't complete
Sync never finishes, Every morning I check the status in the Dropbox app. It's the same 26GB that never completes. I am only using 32% of my Dropbox account, so it's not the size. I'm up to date ...
You could try finding and moving it out of the Dropbox folder petrusrung22 - renaming it might also help.
Have you rebooted your computer at all lately by the way?
There are no sync issues
I am on a Mac
Dropbox app version I think is 145.4.4921
Thanks

Dropbox StaffCould you also post a screenshot of the app's exact status petrusrung22?
Is it 'up to date' or stuck at syncing a specific number of files?
It is stuck on a 1.51 GB media file....stuck, meaning it is frozen on this file. That status of it has been frozen for days. If I could cancel the sync of this file I would.

The attached shows you what I am seeing. It is very strange as nothing like this has happened in the years I have been using Dropbox. All of a sudden, larger files are not syncing. If I remove the larger files, then smaller files will start syncing but if a large file is not syncing, smaller files behind it will not sync. I have rebooted and even reinstalled Dropbox.
I have a similar issue but only for larger files (1MB and larger). Just started yesterday. I am using the Apple Mac version and have plenty of storage space.

Glad to hear that DGr - thanks for keeping me in the loop too!
See you around the Community and have a lovely weekend!
I ma having a similar issue. Except it's 2 files that won't finish syncing, and I cannot see what they are nor how large they are. But it does bog down my Mac. Sometimes I get the spinning wheel of death. When I go to pause the sync that will usually solve the slow problem, but it comes back after the sync is unpaused. This just started happening a couple weeks ago. Up until then, Dropbox worked like a charm.
