Dropbox is stuck syncing after an update, what can I do?
I have the "Dropbox Plus" subscription and I run the client on 4 computers.
Yesterday (Monday, 13-Jan-2020) I signed onto my desktop (which is always on) and has a full local sync of my dropbox...
Hi S34WOLF:
I am also a Boxifier user too because I wanted to sync files in their current folder locations and not move them to the designated Dropbox folder. These are usually in the "Boxifier" folder under the Dropbox folder, and these contain the links to to external folders outside the Dropbox folder structure.
Can you tell us all a little more what happened to the "Boxifer" folder after you uninstalled Boxifier, and what you will do now?
FYI, I contacted Boxifier support who told me (in part): "Dropbox has introduced a new sync engine ("Nucleus") that at the moment is not advertised and it is only available to some users. The team discovered an incompatibility between Boxifier and this new sync engine and is working to solve this problem. We have released a beta last week which includes support for the new sync engine of Dropbox. Could you please give it a try and let me know if it makes any difference for you?"
The Boxifier Beta did not make any difference, so I am wondering which side to try to tackle this problem: Dropbox or Boxifier.
Thank you!

Ahh, so that explains the nucleus filename I saw through ResMon. Well, I think that clearly establishes that there's something not quite ready with their new sync engine yet...
Not only is it buggy... but it's not nearly as tolerant, reliable, etc. The old engine worked well for YEARS. Now this new one is full of hidden surprises (things it doesn't like or doesn't want to support). But to top it all off -- it's much more resource hungry. My dropbox process is constantly eating more CPU and memory; at least double or triple what it used to, and it's fully sync'd. 100% CPU on one core and 50% system memory when everything is sync'd and quiet. What a great upgrade!
