Dropbox StaffHey alexmiller_spillt, sorry to hear about this.
Does the sync status just read "indexing...", with no number of files remaining, or does it give you a number as well?
Would you mind letting us know the version of the Dropbox app that you have installed?
You can hover over the Dropbox icon for this info.
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
Hello! Dropbox app for Mac 203.4.4857
I'm running a Mac Studio with 14.5 OS
And yes, it's "indexing..." for hours now. I've told every folder/file to be online-only, tried only one folder offline, all folders offline - lots of combos. It indexes, counts down from say 15,000 files, gets to "zero" and then it looks like this for hours.

Hey alexmiller_spillt, can you click on your avatar in the app's preferences and then on the 'View sync issues' option?
You mentioned an upgrade too. Do you mean that your app is now under File Provider with your Dropbox folder moved under ~/Library/CloudStorage?
You can also try rebooting your computer and internet router, if you haven't already.
There's "no sync issues" that I see when I click on that.
Also I was mistaken - I updated, not upgraded, to the newest macOS 14.5, two weeks ago. And no, I am not using File Provider (I am not eligible at this time, it says).

Sorry for jumping in, alexmiller_spillt. I’d like you to take one more step and right click on your local Dropbox folder directly and then, go to “Get info”. Can you send me a screenshot of the next window?
