Slow sync on Mac M1
Hi, Switched to a MacBook with the M1 (Big Sur 11.4, Dropbox V126.4.4618). I am experiencing extremely slow sync rates. I've tried: - Rebooting the machine - Rebooting the router - un/reins...

I thought that the advice had done the trick. Then this happened.
I uploaded a 30G .zip file. It went into the DB folder quickly - only about 20mins to upload. Then DB started "Syncing" and 48hrs later still reporting 2 more days required to sync.
I'd upload a screen grab but I can't see how in a reply
Help!? 🙂

I hope you enjoyed your weekend jkahne!
I am just reaching out to ask if the app's status remains in the same state you mentioned in your previous reply.
Let me know.

I'm having a similar problem. I reset the hard links and permissions but ... it is still going very slowly. Any other ideas what to try here? I have been using the Dropbox app on my desktop M1 Mac and have not had this problem until yesterday.
Thank you for your help!

Do you still face this?
Also, what's the version of the desktop app you have installed on your device?
Let me know more, and I'll be happy to help!- CurtM4 years agoNew member | Level 2
I am not having this problem anymore! The fix described above worked. I had to reboot after doing the two repairs and that fixed it. Thank you!
