Dropbox StaffAwesome, thanks for your speedy response sharsprague!
Is it possible that you're syncing locally more than 300K files, which is the soft limit of the desktop app? Do you use selective sync for any of your folders?
Also, have you excluded the possibility of your ISP, antivirus or firewall being the culprit of this?
Hi,
The folder I am syncing locally contains ~4700 files, well below the soft limit of the desktop app, and yes, I do use selective sync for my folders.

Please advise on what I can do to get it working on my new machine.

There are multiple sub-folders within the DB folder.
