Endless syncing with high CPU usage on Win11

Hi, i‘m using the up to date client on windows 11. My local dropbox contains 15.000 files. And he takes more than six hours to sync the files. What‘s wrong with dropbox?!?!

Hmm I see. If you upload a small text or image file via the desktop app instead, does it sync normally to the Dropbox website? 

 

Also, the empty files that you mention, can you tell me their file extension?

 

If you check your desktop app’s Sync history and Activity tabs, do you see any errors?

I created an empty txt file, the app syncs and it apears on the website, if i click it i get error 415.

App hangs with syncing 952 files, but shows no errors.

 

i think the empty files are txt files.

 

Hovering over the dropbox icon i see:

Dropbox 198.4.7615

400 files being indexed

2 files uploading

552 files downloading

 

but no change at all
