At the bottom, only "Syncing 6 files..." then "All files are up to date" then syncing 6 files a minute or so later.

Same here but stuck indexing 49.199 files. Nothing works log out, log in restarts indexing but it gets stuck after a while, on another random number. Rebooting does nothing. Same Dropbox version 174.4.5852 MacOS 12.6.6, and don't tell my to upgrade to Ventura please just make your product work as expected, I lost a lot of precious time this weekend trying to make it work, now I'm uploading files through Safari LOL but I just need to keep working.
