Dropbox is re-syncing my files again?
Why on earth is this happening ?!? its resyncing everything again nothing has been changed why ?
I don't recall any changes to the OS etc. It didn't say re-indexing, it said updating and the number of files kept increasing. After one or two days it was still going like crazy.
I found online somewhere that I should delete filecache.dbx. I did that, restarted dropbox. Now it did re-index all files, but this only took a couple of hours. I've not had a problem since.
I think it would be nice if Dropbox would pay attention to this sort of thing in a more timely fashion for paying customers.

How do you delete the filecache.dbx file? I searched my computer but didn't find it. I have a Windows 10 Pro

Sorry to be jumping in here, but have you tried the steps outlined here on your computer outsidetheboxtci?Yes my computer has begun doing this with every reboot. Dropbox seems to be totally useless for now.
Absolutely infurating and has totally screwed up my work. I'm committed to Dropbox so can't easily leave the ecosystem, but wish I'd never joined.
