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?!?!

Dropbox Community ModeratorHmm 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?
Where went my edited reply?😳
I created an empty txt file which syncs and appears on the website with error 415.
App activity shows 952 files to sync and no errors.
When i hover over the taskbar icon i see 400 files indexing, 1 file uploading and 552 downloading,
There it hangs

Hi StenApp, are these files related to compiled code? Are you able to use this feature to prevent certain local folders from uploading to the site?
No not all files seem related to compiled code. I cannot see which files are pending, dropbox just shows me a number.
I remember that i deleted 1 file which dropbox desperatedly likes to upload, why, don‘t know.
The rest seems to exist on my drive but dropbox likes to update them.
I dislike that i don‘t see a list of files with path that changed or got deleted.Right at the moment i cannot test exclution of files.

If you open Explorer and navigate to the Dropbox folder, can you see which files are being indexed and uploading by the sync icons on the files or folders?
