    That didn't work for me yesterday...

    I have solved it syncing every big folder one by one, instead of all at the same time. A process which took me about 4 hours but in the end it worked.
    With some of the folders, the Syncing being interrupted happened, and I solved it pausing the syncing, and then activating it again a few times (3 or 4). Not a very good solution, but effective in the end.

Hi all, sorry to jump in here, but for anyone who's still affected by this, could you let us know approximately how many files you're syncing on the affected device and if you've ensured you have enough hard drive space?

 

Also, have you tried the 'view sync issues' option from the app?
