Does the sync status show the amount of synced files or the amount remaining to be synced?
Is the GB amount that has been downloaded or the amount remaining to be downloaded? Currently syncing a new computer to my Dropbox. This number has decreased a bit but not much over the past two days.
Hey @Wrazor, thanks for posting your question to our Community!
The amount of files you see there on the Dropbox icon's sync status, is the amount of files remaining to be synced.
You can go to the app preferences and ensure that the bandwidth is set to "don't limit".
Give it some time once the download/upload rates have been adjusted, and let us know if it makes any difference.
Thanks.
