"Waiting on sync" after updating to 208.4.5824

"waiting on sync" after updating to 208.4.5824 and none of the usual reset, reinstall, or repair methods work.
Also noted dropbox.exe was using about 10GB of RAM
Any ideas?

    Hey DBAdmin - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    If this persists after rebooting your computer and/or quitting and relaunching the app, you can try signing out from the desktop app and then back in again.

     

    If you still get the same results, please send us a screenshot of the app's exact status so that we can have a visual too.

     

    Thanks!
