I'm having the same issue, my Dropbox has been syncing 1 file forever and stopped syncing the rest of the files i've been working on. 

Previouslly I'd had the same problem and it got solved when I selectively synced less than 350Gb from my computer. However, this time I tried again the same method and got to selectively sync about 250Gb and it still had the same problem. The Dropbox help I requested said something about some programs running on the background but finally couldn't help at all since he said I didn't have administrator permits... I'm still having the problem and aren't being able to keep my files synced. I'm afraid many of my files aren't being backed up at this moment.
