Hei, thanks for the quick answer!
This is my local dropbox version and my local dropbox contains 350k files:
$ dropbox version
Dropbox daemon version: 218.4.4348
Dropbox command-line interface version: 2024.04.17$ find . -type f | wc -l
350385
The status is "Up to date" and syncing works fine (can confirm on the dropbox website). I have noticed, that the client recently "gets stuck" after I put my laptop to sleep (i.e., it did not sync to dropbox, only when I do "pause syncing" and then "resume syncing" does the central dropbox get updated).
I noticed the issue a couple of weeks ago but it may have existed a bit longer.

Dropbox StaffI see, thanks for the additional information there mmittner - much appreciated. Could you try using selective sync to remove some folders in order to make the app's load a little smaller, namely under 300K files?
Let us know if the behavior changes at all afterwards.
