Dropbox is stuck syncing in a loop. How to resolve?
hi, I have a problem with dropbox. dropbox is stuck in a loop on file syncing and would never seem to complete the update. The icon remains in synchronization in progress but it is not doing anything...

2 years agoThanks for that cristiandj81!
What about the app's syncing status? I'm asking, because that'll give us a precise idea if the app is syncing, stuck syncing or syncing slowly and would also give us the number of files, and size it's syncing.

the synchronization is blocked, that is, nothing is synchronizing but the wheel is spinning

Thanks, cristiandj81, but we'll need to know the status as reported by the app itself.
To see that, you'll need to hover over the small Dropbox icon in your system tray, by your computer's clock.

Just to make sure we're on the same page now, can you please also send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting so that we can have a visual too?
Also, what is the version of the Dropbox mobile app you're using at the moment?
Any additional information is more than welcome!
