i am beginning to determine the problem. i ve been wrong about my 2 last comments so i deleted them. as i can see there are a bunch of certain files that i upload (indexing) every 3 days and i found out what they are. what do u want me to do?


but even if the files that i upload (indexing) are exactly the same with the old ones same thing happens, indexing for ever!

so what now? ill check later on cause have to go to work if there are any suspicious files like long filenames or anything i can think of , think of yourselves as well. waiting for your reply. this has something to do with dropbox my files are perfectly normal in general


thnx!

Hi @andreas781, I hope you don’t mind me jumping in, too. 

If you try to move these “suspicious” files out of the local Dropbox folder, does your Dropbox app still get stuck at indexing, or does this seem to resolve the issue?
