Re: After an update the desktop app keeps indexing everything

Hey uksteveharris!

After the Windows cloud files update, the Dropbox desktop app may re-sync content because the update introduces a new sync engine that requires a migration of your files to be compatible with the new Cloud Files API. This migration process can trigger a re-sync of your files to ensure everything is properly updated and integrated with the new system. 

In any case, I'm happy to see that your issue is now resolved! 

I'll be one post away if you need anything else. Thanks! 🤓
