Does this fix the perpetual "Syncing..." problem with version 88.4.172?

Since the sync delay is due to what appears to be a TOTAL REINDEX for a new SQL engine you can expect its going to be in this version as well, even if they reversed the SQL engine back to the old method, then that one woiuld have to reindex as well so your still stuck.
Im as FRACKED OFF as can be, it takes days / weeks for a reindex to complete on our data as we have 2TB+ in 600K+ files.
Any educated developers would know to migrate the database, but DB , Oh no lets just do a rebuild, who gives a stuff if it doesnt sync for days I mean our customers can lump it we are the gods of self amazement and the light shining from us well show the way.
Priase the D & the B for all sync shall come to those who wait for the weeks of reindex to pass, and the stale data shall be theirs for the taking.... SHOOT ME NOW!
Installing version 89.4.278 has not solved the "Syncing..." problem on Windows 10.
EDIT 2 Feb 2020: Uninstalling Boxifier solved my syncing issue. (It's not enough to exit Boxifier.)
still endlessly 'Syncing...', still thrashing the drive at 100%. Zero indication of what's actually happening. This is pathetic.
bobasDoes this fix a bug with files >2GB not syncing (in either direction) on 32-bit Linux?

No, I can say it doesn't. I have a ticket opened with Support (for the previous version v88.4.172), and I've updated it to say that this version hasn't fixed the issue either.

What actually this mean?! 32-bit builds was always possible to be used in 64-bit environment. What is the new thing here? :thinking: Aah... You have just discovered that's possible. :wink: Congratulations! :slight_smile:
The 64-bit build still has issues opening submenus! :unamused:
nikhilmThis notice is about how we create builds when releasing them, not about running them.
Previously, we would use a 32-bit machine to compile the 32-bit Dropbox application.
Now we use a 64-bit machine to compile the 32-bit Dropbox application.
There should be no regressions in functionality due to this, but, since the overall population of 32-bit users is small, we are unable to test every feature. This is a heads up so that users can tell us if they notice any problems.
Here is some more information about cross-compiling - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/897289/what-is-cross-compilation.
- Update: dragging the file out of my HOME (and not simply Dropbox) folder does make the problem disappear. In particular, I dragged a PDF file to /Users/Shared and the beachball was gone.
Anyway, I keep thinking that the culprit is some Dropbox process, since it started two days ago. - I uninstalled Dropbox and the issue of Preview hanging for a few seconds with Catalina upon opening PDF died out. There’s clearly something wrong with this Dropbox build, since the problem didn’t exist with 88.4.172
Dropbox installer will not run windows 10
Does not run as administrator either. THis is true for both the online and the offline installer.
A week ago I was notified by dropbox that it needed and update, I followed along and downoaded the installer. It would not even execute.
WTF is going on here? I've been using dropbox for more than 6 years, this is the first time the updater wouldn't even run.
It happened two weeks ago that the dropbox needs "one time update."
All files in the dropbox folder keep synchronizing - like I have installed the account in a new computer.
Fine. It was lucky the company was having a long holiday and I just let the the computer to do the work.
AND WHAT THE **bleep** IT STARTS UPDATING AGAIN?????
I have no time this time. STOP THESE STUPID UPDATES UNTIL YOU CAN CALL IT A "STABLE" BUILT!!!!
