Dropbox app is stuck syncing 10 files on my macOS.

Since more than a week dropbox is trying to sync 10 files (only 17kb total). It never syncs those files.  However, it syncs any new files or other files. How to fix this?

Yep, same here - as of ~1 week ago, a Mac device has mysteriously gone out of sync in some folders but not others; keeps trying to sync to no effect. (It's using about 1GB per day, based on Activity monitor - but not actually getting anywhere. And the unsynced files are only a few KB)

Advanced reinstall had no effect.

MacOS 15.5, Dropbox 228.4.5567
