The desktop app is syncing forever

I am in this situation now.  I have Dropbox business with 3 Tb and I have lots of files...  It was fine until last week or so when I tried syncing and it syncs infinite.  It starts at about 7K files ...

Looking at the sync and storage in the app. It shows that I have like 5% of the dropbox on harddrive. This is not the case. I have it all on the drive so there is something rotten here.

Are all of your files set as Available Offline, or are a lot of your files set as Online-only? What do the sync icons (Windows, Mac) look like next to your files?
