Syncing problems on Mac OS
I have been having problems with syncing the last few days.
I have Sequioa
Hey tanniemola - could you send us a screenshot of the app's exact status as shown in your menu bar so that we can have a visual too?
Did you try logging out of your account through the app's preferences and then back in?

Same problem (also Sequoia) - get error message "Can't sync Dropbox account" - it says some files are being used by other applications." My desktop went crazy with all the the files being removed from my folders and spread across the entire desktop - and then all the files/folders disappeared off the desktop. "Try again" button does nothing.

I get message saying "syncing files" that simply hangs around for hours and the files simply do not sync

What version of Dropbox you using? Mouse over it to find out
Have you tried a reboot etc.? Do you have enough quota and hard drive space?
