Hi there razorflash, sorry to hear about your syncing issues. 

 

Could you clarify if the desktop app is stuck at the same file or if it's syncing or giving you different errors in your menu bar?  Also, what is the app's version?

If you have contacted our support team about this issue since you first noticed this, please let us know your ticket ID as well. 

 

Any additional information is more than welcome!
