Won't stop indexing on Mac

I installed the mac dropbox update and the application began indexing my files. It has now been stuck for the last few days. I can only access some files. Many are now only available through dropbox....

    Hi Everyone,

     

    Thanks for your patience while we investigated. We have confirmed that the problem with resyncing has been resolved with macOS Sonoma 14.1. Users should not experience a resync when upgrading to 14.1.

     

    Upgrading to 14.1 will prevent resyncing, but it will not resolve this issue for users who have already become 'stuck' on the resync upon upgrading to 14.0. We can help, but we're asking that users contact support for individual assistance.

     

    Regards,

    Ben

Hi Victor28, let's see what we can find together on this!

 

Could you also confirm if your Dropbox folder is located in CloudStorage? 

 

Also PaoloCaMe & Victor, could you clarify the app's precise syncing status as we speak, and how long it's been like that?

 

Thanks a bunch!

      Buongiorno,

      non più possibile lavorare con Dropbox in queste condizioni...

      sono diversi giorni che non si sincronizza nulla!

       

      Non posso neanche aprire i miei file!
