Status stuck on "Downloading 3 files (1 KB/Sec, 1 Sec) - Dropbox 90.4.307

I'm not sure what to do.  My Dropbox stopped syncing files in the last day or two.  I noticed it yesterday when linking a few files to a friend.  Dropbox showed the file as synced, and I shared the link with him, but it never uploaded.

I really have no idea what to do.  I've tried fixing perms, fixing hard links, letting it sit overnight, rebooting my computer, selective sync has all boxes checked.

I haven't changed my firewall settings or AV or anything like that that I know of.

When I hover over the icon I get:

Dropbox 90.4.307

Indexing 8 Files...

Uploading 1 File...

Downloading 3 files (1 KB/Sec, 1 Sec)

 

Any ideas here?  I couldn't find anything online or here that has helped.

Thanks

 

 

  • Hi meetloaf13, thanks for posting today!

    Could you try checking the Dropbox folder on your machine and see if you can navigate to the file that is trying to upload by following the blue syncing icons :arrows_counterclockwise:? 

    If you locate the file, could you try moving it out of the Dropbox folder and then back in again to see if this helps?

    Let me know how it goes!
