Dropbox is re-syncing my files again?

I don't recall any changes to the OS etc. It didn't say re-indexing, it said updating and the number of files kept increasing. After one or two days it was still going like crazy.
I found online somewhere that I should delete filecache.dbx. I did that, restarted dropbox. Now it did re-index all files, but this only took a couple of hours. I've not had a problem since.
I think it would be nice if Dropbox would pay attention to this sort of thing in a more timely fashion for paying customers.

@Lance S... We've all seen the short download/index message when dropbox or a computer restarts. This is nothing like that behavior. Support is misleading you I suspect. Looks to me like they might have pushed out a buggy update or something.
Its acting link there was a fresh client install on the computer and is doing a full resync. The basic startup doesn't consume 30Mb of bandwidth for 4+ hours. Since I restarted my computer dropbox has received 33GB of data with no signs of finishing.
Would really like some transparency from Dropbox on what the heck is going on here.
