Dropbox StaffHey cwithe, thanks for taking the time to post about this.
We really appreciate your feedback here, but let's see what we can find out about this.
When did you start having this issue? Was it after the app was updated to the latest version?
Have you tried restarting both the computer and the Dropbox app, to see if this behavior persists?
Keep me posted.
...to answer your questions,
It has been like this since I know Dropbox, for years or decade.. I love the unlimited storage and some UI...but this Upload/Download UI is terrible from the start. We, the users, WANT to see our speeds, how files transfers, what is in transfer and when it is going to be done etc.. It's a must!
I want to see which folders are being transferred, and where etc.. In Dropbox as it is now, you can't really see that or you need to keep on hovering pointer over Icon to get very limited and unclear information.

Hey cwithe! I hope you’re doing well.
I’d like to thank you for all the feedback you’ve shared with us so far; it’s really helpful.
Just to clarify something though, do you see any progress on the number of files that are currently syncing or does syncing appear to be stuck? If you hover over the number of files that are trying to sync, are you seeing more details in regards to the syncing speed?
Finally, can you please check your app’s bandwidth settings, and see if there’s any kind of limitation?
