Dropbox is stuck syncing after an update, what can I do?

I have the "Dropbox Plus" subscription and I run the client on 4 computers.   Yesterday (Monday, 13-Jan-2020) I signed onto my desktop (which is always on) and has a full local sync of my dropbox...

Recently I've had the initial starting/indexing bit take ten minutes, instead of ten seconds. I'm not sure when it started happening exactly, but I'm positive it was in the last two weeks, much like many of the users here.

Note that I use two symbolic links with Dropbox... but they are FROM my Dropbox TO another location. That is to say, I am using the symlink to present e.g. D:/Dropbox/blah/ as C:/.../.../.../.../blah/. (The folder icon with the shortcut icon added to it is outside Dropbox.) So as far as I understand things, the actual symbolic links are outside Dropbox. This may be an important detail.

I guess I was fortunate enough to have the app merely be very slow instead of stuck... where it gets very interesting is that this is happening on a laptop I have not touched during that time, so my best guess is that it's something wrong in the Dropbox app.

Like others, I am seeing basically 0 drive activity and 100% usage on one core during this issue.

Once the app gets past "Starting..." (which takes about a minute), it then gets stuck on "Indexing 1 file" (displayed as "Syncing 1 file" in the expanded tray) for about 3 to 4 minutes. It then goes to just "Syncing..." for 2 or 3 more minutes.

Using Resource Monitor, I see Dropbox calling for the following files:

During "startup":

During "indexing 1 file..."

Let me know if there is any additional information I can provide (logs etc)

Thanks.

    For the past 8 hours my machine has been stuck at...

    Syncing 723 files
Uploading 390 files...
Downloading 333 files...

    Dropboxd is currently using 100% of a core, 10GB of RAM, and is at 462 minutes on the CPU. I'm not optimistic.

      This seems to indicate Dropbox is not actually syncing my files:
