Dropbox StaffHi rokman54, sorry to hear about this issue.
If you click on the small Dropbox icon in your system tray, and go to your “Sync history” tab after that, are you seeing any errors for any of the files that are currently trying to sync?
Other than that, you can open your local Dropbox folder, and see if any of your files/folders have the red X syncing icon next to them, indicating they can’t sync.
If that doesn't help, can you clarify what's the app version of your Dropbox app, as well as how many files your Dropbox app is currently syncing? You can double check the latter by right clicking on your local Dropbox folder, and selecting "Properties".
Keep me in the loop for any updates.
There are no issues on the sync history. Also it doesn't show any file that is syncing. There are too many folders and files to manually check which file has a X on it.
My app version is v187.4.5691. The number of syncing files is stuck between 10848 and 10855.

Hi again, rokman54! Just to clarify, are you seeing this number, when right clicking on your local Dropbox folder? Can you send me a screenshot of what you see, when visiting its Properties?
In any case, I’d like us to make sure that your desktop app doesn’t sync overall more than 300k files, since this can cause performance issues.
I have 204,387 Files, 2,239 Folders.
Also here is my screenshot of the properties on my local dropbox folder. Nothing indicates the number of files to be synced
