    It looks like the problem is solved.

    I signed out & in from the 'preferences' tab of the Dropbox app.

Hey Stefanogiovi80_, sorry to jump in.

 

Do you mean that the files you add to your account other devices do not sync to your Mac Mini?

 

Or is it the other way around?

 

If you hover over the Dropbox icon on your Mac Mini, what's the sync status and version of the app, please?

    Hi Stefanogiovi80_, it might sound trivial, but have you tried re-starting your device ever since this started happening?

      I have the same issue.

      Dropbox is syncing forever (never works) after my Macbook Air OS was updated to OSX 14.1 Sonoma.

      Neither rebooting nor re-logging works.  'Full Disk Access to Dropbox' turning on/off did not solve the problem, either.
