Multiplers Errors with Finder after Dropbox Upgrade - Mac M1
A few days ago I installed the new dropbox update after being prompted to do so.
It's been a nightmare since then. After all my folders were moved to some new secure folder on my mac, I get no...
Just wanted to give an update here. After 5 days of pain and errors the problem seems to have resolved itself.
I'm not sure what dropbox was doing in the background this whole time....at one point Dropbox used up my entire hard drive space and I only had 1 gb of free space left. Then, suddenly, it stopped and I had 50gb+ free again and I could suddenly open files without errors again.
Dropbox is still very slow to start (seems to hang on "updating files" for a long time) but it does now start consistently.

Dropbox StaffHi cquintero1, sorry to hear about that!
In the issues you mentioned, you also said that Dropbox sometimes doesn't start. Do you get any specific error messages?
As for all the Finder problems you mentioned, do you notice this behavior only for your Dropbox files and folders, or all of your content locally?
Let me know more!

I am having the same or a very similar issue. I cannot open files without MacOS finder freezing. Have restarted multiple times and issue has repeated. Now Dropbox will not start. I'm running MacOS 13.4. Please help.
