Icons on my mac aren't visible, and the uploads are slow compared to my Windows device.
Hi everyone,
I am using both Mac and Windows and the dropbox is more or less my link or server between the two.
I have recently upgraded my Mac to Ventura 13.5. The Windows is super new running ...

Hi,
the problem just got worse and worse.
I dedeted files from my Mac - and instead of deleting them, he is constantly reloading them as "reanamed" in the same folder. it seems like the files are exponentially growing - by now he is synchronizing like 200t files at once and completely stopping everything else.
How is this possible? I deleted the files from the machine, and he is ignoring that, rewriting them!
I have to work with this system and I am completely blocked by dropbox right now.
I need a fast solution for this. thank you

Just to keep you updated. Now I decided to let him recreate all these files in this weird "renamed" folder that's been created by dropbox itself.
As a consequence, the Mac now sais everything in dropbox is up to date. But: Now the windows machine simply stopped updating the folder. It is giving me a "syncing 157855 files" report with 27 mb total, and just doesn't continue doing anything.
No report of sync problems but also no progress. The folder is showing the wrong content and not synching at all.
I am in a middle of a deadline and quite surprised about this whole mess I have to say.
