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.

I am beyond perplexed and exhausted, I have spent my entire day trying to force DropBox to finish syncing with my new macbook. It partially synced, there are several hundred thousand files that appear to have been synced, but I cannot force it to finish the job. It has been stuck for five hours on 'syncing is interrupted' and I have no solution. It has been indexing files on and off during that entire time without any progress. I have:
- Updated my OS to the most current version.
- Quit the desktop application multiple times and restarted my computer multiple times.
I don't really know what else to do because the application doesn't give you many options to manipulate the application.
