Hi @jonathanbckr

Thank you for sharing this feedback and providing such a detailed explanation of the issue. We understand how important it is to have an accurate sync time estimate, especially given the volume of files you're working with in your video production workflow.

This is a known limitation with the current implementation of File Provider on macOS, and improving this experience is something we’d like to address in the future. While we don’t have a specific timeline for a fix just yet, it is on our radar, and we’re committed to ensuring that Dropbox continues to meet your needs.

In the meantime, if there’s anything else we can assist you with or any additional feedback you’d like to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
