Hi Dell_Dropbox ,
Thank you so much for your quick response and helpful suggestions! I really appreciate you taking the time to assist.
Unfortunately, the steps you mentioned didn’t resolve the issue for me. However, I noticed something interesting: iCloud Drive was also stuck uploading an 800B file. To fix that, I disabled and reenabled iCloud Drive in macOS settings, and surprisingly, that seemed to resolve the Dropbox issue as well—or at least, I think it did!
I’ll keep an eye on it and report back with more details if the problem occurs again. Thanks again for your support!

When did this issue start for you exactly?
As a first step, please try restarting Finder and then toggling the Dropbox Finder integration off and back on from Dropbox preferences. In many cases, that resets the extension state and stops the repeated refresh.
