Dropbox is re-syncing my files again?
Why on earth is this happening ?!? its resyncing everything again nothing has been changed why ?

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.

I now join the ranks of this community. I have been a dropbox pro customer for years and I have hundreds and thousands of files in their system.
Today it prompted me to login again and then began an index process which lasted most of the morning. That done its now Synching well over half a million files again!!!!!!!!
Dropbox. From the thread above it does not look like you have managed to resolve this issue. Are there any updates?
Oh - macOS BTW El Capitan
