Hey RJL, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community.

 

At the moment, there's no way to sort files by sync status.

 

Also, regarding the files with the sync icon, can you please hover over the Dropbox icon in your system tray/menu bar, to see the sync status and version of the app itself?

Can't sync "visited Links" (access denied)

Uploading 218,564 files

Downloading 18

The version is 188.4.6302

    Hi RJL, is the number of indexing and uploading files going down as we speak?

        Hi RJL, can you please try fixing your hardlinks and permissions as outlined here and let me know if syncing gets stuck at the exact same number of files again?
