    Hey Anna41, thanks for your fast response!

     

    How long has the app been stuck syncing the same content? can you check if the Dropbox app has full disk access by following these steps and let me know if that helps?

     

    Is it possible that you have more than 300K files in your Dropbox folder, which would be the app's soft limit? If yes, do all these files sync locally?
