Having problems syncing with File Provider on Mac OS

Hi, 

Yes, the .asd file is an analysis file (created by Ableton) but this has uploaded/synced just fine. My problem is that the .wav file (also created by Ableton in the same export) does not upload/sync. 

Thanks,

Hi Walter, 

I'm afraid I'm seeing the same on dropbox.com as well as the iOS app: the smaller analysis file synced while the larger WAV file did not. Right-clicking offers none of the expected dropbox options.

Renaming the file actually does cause it to sync, but this isn't a long-term solution. 

Thanks

Hi Nancy, 

That's right- WAVs exported by Ableton don't seem to sync (I have replicated this) whereas the smaller .asd files do sync. Likewise, dragging in other file types (e.g. PDFs) also sync. I have approx 200k files in DB:

Thanks

Yep of course, thanks. 

Hi,
seems like I have the same issue, since I updated to the new File Provider System sometimes the Dropbox seems just to be lazy. The Internet is working, the status says its syncing, but it is not doing anything. The only thing what helps ist quit dropox and restart it again. I am using 200.4.7134
Is there any solution for this issue?

Not wanting to confuse the issue, but this was never resolved for me regardless of OS or version of Dropbox or whatever. I think the problem is that a program (i.e. Ableton) is adding files to a 'synced' folder rather than the user, and somehow Dropbox doesn't then sync these files. 

I am running macOS 14.5 (23F79). The circumstances are not clear to me some times it's running just fine and then all of the sudden it stops working for a while. What helps is rebooting the computer, quitting dropbox and restarting it.
I didn't try logging out or reinstalling so far. 

Walter any news on this?
Right now it happened again. I added a file to the dropbox folder, it synced just fine, then i wanted to make some folders "make available offline" and it's not doing anything anymore.

Walter  restarting the dropbox app as well as rebooting seems to fix it for a while.
An dwith "Not doing anything" I meant, that the app it self is responding, but the process of syncing is not working properly. Especially if you try to sync files, wich are in the dropbox and you want make them available offline is not working really stable.

Jay as I mentioned before, my observations so far: the app is randomly not syncing while trying to make folders "available offline". And sometimes it stops syncing completely.

This started happening to me about a week ago. It takes forever to process small files to "make available offline" also - and I'm not sure about anyone else, but dropbox was able to show a preview of the file, and that stopped happening about a year ago. Please make this app work again.

Hi there, 

Are there any updates on this? The following remain issues (Dropbox and MacOS both current):

- Exports from applications into DB folder (from Ableton in my case) do not sync without me renaming them

- Still getting the 'syncing forever' issue where DB just seems to hang

Thanks

Hey

Dropbox and MacOS versions are latest.
Seems that i have the same problem. At some point of time i had indexing which was stuck and nothing helps except logging out and in. I did that. It creates second dropbox folder, which were syncing (where some of the files were missing). And there was the old dropbox folder which wasn't syncing anymore. It was fine, i needed some time to delete duplicated files and find out what was missing. Then it works. And dropbox asked me to move folder to file provider (/library/cloudstorage/dropbox). And it started indexing and stuck. So now i can not sync or use dropbox. The only way is to go to the website and download files. I'm already talking to support by email. But so far the problem hasn't solved.
