    Uninstalled Dropbox.

    Deleted Dropbox folder.

    De-linked the computer from online account.

    Removed all temporary files following a Community post.

    Installed Dropbox again, logged in, didn't use the update.

    Dropbox folder back on user folder and not in Location.

    Files syncing now.

     

    Not the perfect solution, but best I could do after a long online chat, multiple emails and then no response from Dropbox team for 8 hours. I like Dropbox. But today very disappointed with support service.

I see, thanks for checking, Yuq.

 

Can we reach out to you via email, to investigate further?

      Hey Yuq, yes, no worries, I just emailed you, so I'll see you there!

       

      As for you Malpani, I'm sorry to see that you're still having issues.

       

      I can see that I had reached out to you back in August, but I didn't receive any reply, so the ticket was automatically closed after a while.

       

      Are you getting the same error message? Or is your Dropbox app just stuck on "Syncing..."?

       

      If the latter, can you confirm that you've tried all the steps here, and especially the one about giving Dropbox full disk access?
