How to fix being stuck on Indexing forever loop of death on multi million file DBs after db crash
Ok so I've used Dropbox for almost as long as its existed and recently due to frustration with the never finishing indexing bug I was forced to find out why this kept happening so I could prevent it....
Hi XionicFire,
Thanks for writing your post. This is literally the 1st time I've visited the Dropbox Community Forum. I've had a Dropbox Plus (personal, 2TB) account for years now, but haven't explored this section of Dropbox before tonight.
Your post doesn't answer the question I've been looking for help with, but in a round about way it's related. I've been in contact with Dropbox's Customer Support regarding my issue and they offered literally *zero* assistance.
A hopefully short summary of my issue: I currently have personal accounts with 3 cloud providers- Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, and GoogleOne. I'm learning the intricacies of syncing between my phone/laptop/cloud and other general tech topics to be a well-functioning adult :). Unfortunately, it was quite a while before I realized that I was syncing all my data/back-ups to all 3 cloud providers. So, now I have almost 6TB data between the 3 providers, many duplicate files, my filing/folder systems are a disorganized mess, and I can't seem to find answers as to how to straighten this out.
What I want, to begin with, is an Index of my files/folders from each cloud provider. Do you know how I can obtain these?
Thanks again for your post!
Michele
