4 files are perpetually syncing on Mac OS, and I can't identify which files
Using Dropbox (version 212.4.5767) on iMac (OS X Ventura). App works fine. But when I pull down the menu from the Dropbox icon in the menu bar, it *always* says "Syncing 4 files"
I have no idea what these files are. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Dropbox app. And still the 4 files are syncing 24/7.
When I "view sync issues" it gives no info.
How can I determine what four files are involved here?
310,380 items are in my dropbox folder

Could you try using selective sync to reduce that number to below 300,000 files, as any number above this can negatively affect the performance of the Dropbox desktop application?
Wow thank you, I did not know this. I can easily reduce the total file number. Thanks very much for the quick reply. I'll give this a try.
