Won't stop indexing on Mac
I installed the mac dropbox update and the application began indexing my files. It has now been stuck for the last few days. I can only access some files. Many are now only available through dropbox....

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your patience while we investigated. We have confirmed that the problem with resyncing has been resolved with macOS Sonoma 14.1. Users should not experience a resync when upgrading to 14.1.
Upgrading to 14.1 will prevent resyncing, but it will not resolve this issue for users who have already become 'stuck' on the resync upon upgrading to 14.0. We can help, but we're asking that users contact support for individual assistance.
Regards,
Ben

gyno81 it's understandable to start seeking a solution on your own, and it's commendable that you've tried and shared your experience.
However, that kind of approach is strongly discouraged for those dealing with a massive amount of data. For instance, I have about 2 TB of crucial work-related data on Dropbox. I certainly wouldn't dare to experiment with solutions without knowing precisely how Dropbox's algorithm works.
This is why it's reasonable to expect a solution directly from Dropbox. Remember, there are also those who pay a substantial yearly fee for a professional account here. It's absurd that, after two weeks, there's still no information, and we're left "waiting for updates," as mentioned by the staff on the forum.
