Well, in predictable fashion, now that I finally posted about the problem, it has suddenly and miraculously vanished.
To answer your questions, though, no, the error message was gone as soon as I restarted Dropbox. And now 60 hours later, the syncing status is saying all files are up to date. I can confirm this because I just finished saving edits to the Scrivener files that Dropbox syncs, and it did so instantly, as it always has.
I reinstalled Dropbox after the data wipe two weeks, but I hadn't done it again.

1 month agoHi there sniffly , and welcome to the Dropbox Community! 😊
I am glad to see your issue is resolved - having the your dropbox account stuck syncing such a small amount of data for days can definitely be puzzling and frustrating, so it’s great to hear things are finally moving normally again. Thanks so much for coming back to update the thread as well.
By the way, I’m Theresa 👩💻, one of the community managers here at Dropbox HQ.
I’d love to know… what do you usually use Dropbox for? Whether it’s work files, personal projects, backups, or something else entirely, I’m always curious how people fit Dropbox into their day-to-day workflows.
Looking forward to hearing more,
