View dropbox sync activity

How do I see what files dropbox is attempting to sync?    Dropbox is consistently the highest CPU consuming app on my mac and I'd like to look at if there are files failing, file permission issue...

Hi Noah C.2, thanks for reaching out!

You can always check the syncing status of the Dropbox application by hovering your mouse over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar. 

Also, you can check your Sync queue, for some more info.

Let me know if you have any more questions!
