Super User IIHi gregzacola
I've found things pretty stable recently. If its saying sync error something isnt right.
Have you tried a restart of Dropbox? OR certainly on initial sync's I've found it sometimes gets hung up on one file/directory and simply moving that out of the Dropbox folder and waiting for it to sync before readding works.
One thing also to point out is it wont work if you are syncing the same directories to both Dropbox and OneDrive. It has to be one or other.

Yes

There are too many like this for it to be a workable solution. I'm expecting Dropbox to "just work"

I tested OneDrive separately on a duplicate of the same set of folders and had no issues
DropBox on Mac is frustrating me more that it should 🙂
