The Dropbox cache folder takes up 600GB of space and the app is stuck syncing 34 files.
My Dropbox is running out of space massively then I noticed there's a hidden .Dropbox.cache folder containing almost 600 gb. My Dropbox still continuously syncing 34 files (for a few hours now). What can I do?

Hi there, thank you for your reply. It's absolutely safe to delete the content within .dropbox.cache and not the folder itself right?
Yes. The only thing it will affect is any file currently syncing down, and those will just start over again. Basically, you're wiping the temporary storage used for the sync process. No actual files will be deleted.

I’d recommend taking a look at this Help Center article, as a first step.
If you have any sort of questions after that, let me know.
