Syncing is stuck on a Mac. What could be the culprit here?

Try also the command:

chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox

Are some errors reported? :thinking: If Dropbox directory has been moved, use the proper path.

Hope this gives some direction.

PS: Check also results (if any) coming from:

ls -alRP ~/Dropbox | grep " -> "

No errors reported. Not sure I put the commands in correctly:  See photos of terminal box and directory structure on my computer. Note the blue syncing icon shows up on the directory but not in any of the folders...sigh...

That's fine! :wink: What about the second "proposal"? :thinking:

...and no response to the last command listed in the PS

I'll try Jane's recommendations later on...busy right now with work stuff!

Ok, What you see is fine again. Bad thing is there is some other problem. As a last move take a look here, when you have some time.

Hope that will help.

PS: Would be fine to try following commands also (to ensure there a no any locks left)|:

sudo chflags -R noschg "/Users/$USER/Dropbox"
sudo chflags -R nouchg "/Users/$USER/Dropbox"
sudo chown -R "$USER" "/Users/$USER/Dropbox"

Will be asked for your password (sudo).

Hello,

since the last update to Catalina 10.15.1 and dropbox 83.4.152 my dropbox icon appears to be stuck syncing on six files, see screenshot here:

I have gone through dropbox and have checked all folders and files for the green sync symbol. All seems fine there in perfectly in sync. I also went through the answers here, but have not found a solution that'll fix my problem.

I should also mention that my desktop computer (not latest updates) at work is synced to the same dropbox folder with the same account name, and there everything is fine. So my guess is that something with the updates is causing this glitch.

Also

And yes, I have restarted my laptop already.

Thanks

Wolfgang

Perfect robynphd, happy to hear that we got this squared away together. Happy Dropboxing ahead! 🤓
