After 12 hours, it has stopped syncing, but now it's stuck indexing... and there's NO movement on that. It's really throwing me off because the blue cycle icon is showing all the time. I rely on that to make sure new saves have synced, but it's not useful if it's going to show ALL the time now. What even is indexing??
