Why is syncing slow after reorganizing documents?
I was trying to upload 125 low res images into a folder and while uploading those, I thought about reorganizing some old documents. These old docs were already uploaded and the only thing I changed ...
Unrestricted. Always been.
I've already asked for a feature like this and got the topic archived.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHas there been any change in the syncing status of the app? What happens if you make another change?
Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
It's oscillating between 8 and 22 hours.

Nothing. Renaming/reorganizing the old folder in Dropbox was the reason for this for sure. Seems that Dropbox is re-syncing already uploaded files just because I changed one folder's location.
I have nothing else consuming data, no downloads, uploads, video streaming... nothing.- Walter
Hey pedrobucher - sorry to jump in here, but have you tried rebooting your computer and internet router at all since you first noticed this?
If you did and this persists, please send us a screenshot of the app's current status to have a better look into this.
And yes, it's possible that the desktop app is re-indexing your database since you re-organized your files.
