Did anyone figure this out? Same problem - just started happening a couple of days ago. And now I keep getting this error. Dropbox is mostly unusable. Seems like a bug they have in their code. It says that the "performance of the Dropbox application starts to decline after reaching about 300,000 files", not that it will just break the whole App.

yes I fixed it - I just moved the whole dropbox directory into my other SSD I have in my PC (they are both 2TB, so that helps). then the problem with sync error stopped and it's "fixed" for now.

 

it's not a solution for everybody of course, but it helped in my situation.
