Drnil,
We have exactly the same problem and this is not the first time this happens. Almost every 6 months, we need to desynch and resynch folder per folder. Dropbox assistance is just useless. We have dropbox business and 10 To bytes of storage. A bit more than 2millions of files that we want to keep...
Instead of having problems of perfromances, it just does not work and crashes constantly. We are wasting our time and it takes more than week to fix everything... We are really considering stopping with DROPBOX because the problem is the memory usage. On two of our computers, Dropbox started to crash constantly wednesday night at the same time. Of course, Dropbox is to blame... They did something. When looking at the task manager of windows, the RAM usage is just building up non stop, until it reaches 3Gb and then crashes. Dropbox is still running under 32bit which can explain the problem. They should be ashamed of selling such a crap and not mentioning clearly the issue... Bad for them, we will go and see the competition, the only action we can take after such ineficiency. Good luck with this!!!! Me, I gave up....

Hi SnowPenguin :penguin: - welcome to the Dropbox Family!
I'm sorry to hear about the crashes you've experienced lately when using our desktop app on your Windows machines and thanks for sharing all the troubleshooting you have done so far; I appreciate it.
I'll be glad to look into it if you don't mind me using the email address that 's connected to reach out so please let me know if it's OK with you to do so.
Apart from that, just out of curiosity, how many files do you happen to have stored in your account?
I'm only asking because the performance of the Dropbox application starts to decline after reaching about 300,000 files and this might also lead to high CPU usage which in turn can lead to crashes.
In any case, I'll be waiting for your response so I can help look into this further.

Hello Walter,
Sure, I have no issue with you contacting me on that E-Mail address.
I have over 500,000 files in my account, but that was never an issue. As I simply don't edit most of them, and things were working fine up until few days ago.
