Stand...
Mine updated and is stuck "Syncing" on PC. All the files show up with the blue sync Icon, been hours and nothing has changed to a green check mark. Dropbox works fine still on my second computer a macbookpro. Anyone else having this issue? Attempted to uninstall and reinstall, unlink/link, no avail. First time this has happened.
Same problem.
In windows 10 v1909, dropbox client v88.4.172 constantly sync forever...(about 2 days).
MacOS client still working fine.
I'm also stuck in constant sync. Whole day at work and there nothing advanced. Now at home it's stuck on "performing one time update" thingy. All folders and files have the blue sync icon and nothing seems to advance anywhere. So DB is bonked on two separate computers.
"Stable" is not what I'd describe this update...
Same here. On both my win 10 machines, on hovering the Dropbox client icon, I see a message like
"Dropbox 88.4.172
Indexing 1 file...
Uploading 24,856 files (0,0 KB/sec, 6 hrs)...
Downloading 32,504 files..."And it didn't change for more than 24 hours now. Please help!
My Windows 10 Dropbox clients are also stuck "Syncing..." with no further info.
Version 88.4.172
Same problem here on a headless Ubuntu 18.04 server.. I have 1 TB of dropbox data and since the most recent update the Dropbox client eats 100% CPU (one core) and never finishes syncing no matter what I try.
Saved the problem, with the following actions:
- Delete all the "conflicted" files
- Restarted the box
- Stopped all other services which access files, such as OwnCloud, Skype, Update Services etc.
- Reinstalled Dropbox Client
Quite tedious, but finally successful.
I had the same issue with endless "Syncing" on my Linux Mint Debian box (the tooltip just showed "Syncing..." with no additional information regarding how many files etc.).
I then closed DropBox and started again from command line in order to see if there's some useful output - and actually there was:
erik@thinkpad:~$ Unable to monitor entire Dropbox folder hierarchy. Please run "echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p" and restart Dropbox to fix the problem.
I executed the command given in the error, and now I see at least some hints in the tooltip regarding number of files to be up- / downloaded (=> this information was missing previously).
So not quite sure if this could be helpful for others, but keeping fingers crossed!
Cheers, Erik
