Is LAN sync functional on the Mac OS version of Dropbox? How can I tell it is working?
Hello,
I have a drobox of about 800gb and when I added a Macbook Pro 2015 to dropbox it has been syncing for about 5 days and still has 750gb to go. My M1 Macbook Pro on the same hardwired network...
The "Enable LAN sync" is checked on both machines. Bandwidth is also set to unlimited in both directions.
Yes, all my files are set for local storage on both devices.

Dropbox StaffHi Mark E.29, syncing that amount of files locally to the device is a lot of work.
However, like you mentioned it should have proceeded more, but that depends purely on the size of your content and how large these files are.
I would like for you to locate your Dropbox icon, next to your WiFi and hover your mouse there. That should give you the version of the app you're using, can you check?
167.4.4719 on both of the machines.

Hi Mark E.29, are either of the new devices on the new version of the Dropbox desktop application for Mac OS? That version no longer supports LAN sync.
Have you opened up all the ports required for the Dropbox desktop application to work normally? Are you using any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
There is nothing on my systems to block traffic to the dropbox domains. You have not actually answered my question. How can tell if LAN sync is working, Are there any log files I can inspect? Any status screens ? Are there logs on your end you can inspect?
