Dropbox Community ModeratorHi there kmccauley, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
It seems that you updated to the new desktop app for Mac OS - you can have a look at this Help Center article about the expected changes.
As for the syncing issue, could you clarify how long it's been since the app stuck at syncing?
Have you rebooted your computer at all since you noticed this?
Keep us posted!
The issues started after Dropbox moved to ~/Library/CloudStorage in the update last week.
My workflow is to use Dropbox like a server — I upload 20-50 GB of images onto one device in a Dropbox folder, and previously, they would be available on the other device within a few hours without much intervention from me. The syncing issue now is that Dropbox won't download my files locally without a lot of babysitting and monitoring the device. And on top of that, I can no longer see the status of how much is left to download, or if it's even still downloading.
It will eventually do it, but it no longer will download large batches of files automatically if I just leave it. Showing me an icon for a fake file that isn't downloaded (and isn't downloading) is not helpful.
I have rebooted several times.
