Hey ke820​, welcome to our Community! 

I'm wondering if the re-sync of your files started because the Dropbox desktop app recently got the Dropbox for Windows update. Could that be the case?

When did you first notice this behavior, and do you see the number of syncing files being reduced as you go or is it stuck?

Can you also hover your mouse over the little Dropbox icon in your task bar, next to your WiFi and let me know which version of our desktop app you're using?

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
