Sync-Problem: Linux Mint 21.3 and Dropbox v194.3.6224
Hi, I have a silly problem.
If I change a small file on my Linux machine, the dropbox-icon will get blue and will show "Syncing" for multiple days.
After a really long time it is going grey again...
Version Dropbox v194.3.6258 is working more better.
For me the problem is solved.
Thankyou

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for posting this on our Community, JM2024!
From what you mention, it looks like your Dropbox app is already running the beta app version.
However, can you send me a couple of screenshots of what you see exactly on your end?
That'll help me guide you from there.
Hi Nancy,
please not at the bottom the blue-sync icon, which stays very long and please notice, that nemo shows all green.
Would it make sense to go back to the release-train? If yes, what is the best way?

Thanks for the screenshot, JM2024! When saying that youâve rebooted (in your first post), are you talking about the Dropbox app or your device, in general?
Iâd also like you to right click on your local Dropbox folder directly, go to its Properties and send me one more screenshot of what you see there. The performance of the Dropbox app may decline after syncing 300k files, so Iâd like to make sure thatâs not the case here.
I rebooted the whole PC and sometimes the Dropbox app itself.
Sometimes this helps, but most often it is showing still "syncing" after the restart.
Good had a good idea regarding the number of files:
If I use a "find . -type f | wc -l" I see: 324247 files
I am using Dropbox since beginning and had never this kind of problems. And I am sure, that I had 400.000 files working some weeks ago.
You are selling 15T.....So 300.000 files shouldnÂŽt be a challenge, right?I forgot: I am also ignoring in dropbox a lot of this files (e.g .git )
