Upgrading Database
My Dropbox app has been 'Upgrading Database...' for a number of hours today with the result that my colleagues can't see or access new files that I have worked on today because my sync is not up-to-d...
Great. Thank you.
I can see approx 500 folders with about 100 at any one time synced to my mac locally.
Syncing files normally only takes minutes when I boot up in the morning. I haven't seen this message before 'Upgrading Database'.
I can leave the machine on overnight to see if it resolves. Could it be indexing all files? As mentioned hasn't happened before.
Hi Hannah,
yes on a team of 11 (3 admins)
Files are now up-to-date after leaving machine on overnight. I would like to know if 'Upgrading Database' is a new process as it was quite disruptive to workflow yesterday...and if there is a way to speed up the process or a way to manually 'Upgrade Database' at a more suitable time.

Hi GarryWP, it sounds like you might have undergone the new upgrade to the team space on your Dropbox Business team.
This is a one-off process, so it wouldn't be re-occurring again in the future. Currently, there isn't a method to speed up the process as you're asking.
