Slow sync issue after updating the desktop app to v210.4.4854.

Ive got an issue with the upgrade. Anyone else have the same problem? Slow in sync, VERY slow in making the connection and very useless box that DOES NOT tell me which files it does'nt not recognize....

    There isn't a solution. The sync is slow and incomplete files are not shown on any screen, even if you have the ORIGINAL file (and you can see it) on an external drive. I will have to either seek a new computer OR find another provider.

    I now have 212.4.5767

I'm having a similar problem with this latest upgrade on Linux. I have the problem with both Ubuntu 24.04 and SUSE Tumbleweed distributions

 

It seems to be on a (endless?) loop of indexing, uploading and downloading. I received an error that it lacked permission to Dropbox.txt. I input my super user password with seemed to satisfy the popup. Then it proceeded to it's endless loop.
