Dropbox stuck indexing files
My Dropbox has been stuck indexing 1,694 files for the last few days. My Dropbox folder content is different on my home and work computers. And desktop folders "don't exist" online if I try to share...

My files will not sync to dropbox. They seem stuck when I click on the icon it just 6 files syncing. But this has beed going on for almost 24 hours now. I closed the excel file on my computer after I saved to dropbox, but then I went to open it and all I have is a 2 day old version. How do I get the correct copy to sync so I can access it. I saved a few times and I am concerned that even when the correct file syncs then it make sync another old one over the top of it. How do I get help with this?

Hi Mike G, let's jump right into this!
Could you let me know the app's exact status and Dropbox version as shown in your system tray/menu bar?
Also, what is the OS that you're using? Can you click on your avatar in the app's preferences and then on the 'View sync issues' option?
Are there any files listed there?
