One of the consequences of taking too long to sync, is that some of the updates I did, to save space (some days ago), are now reverted. For example, I deleted some folders in one machine, so I think that this will be a change that will reflect in all other computers. But since it is taking too long to sync on that machine, the other computers do not see this change. On the other hand, the computer with the deleted folder is updated again creating that folder again. So, all the work I made to clean the space in that computer, is gone...
Since it is taking, and will take, some days to finish, it is very dangerous to do any update in the files of this computer.
I can understand that (re)sync may be slow because of the slow network. But I'd like to give more cpu power to the dropbox app so it can (re)sync faster. And also, dropbox must pay attention to recent files/folders first. Obtain and compare information of the complete directories and files (with timechange of the files) should be simple and faster (doing this without considering the content of the files). Why dropbox do not consider such files/folder tree first, and only then do the (re)sync of the old files/folders ?
