Hi Walter,

 

I’m on the Dropbox Plus 2TB annual plan. I primarily use the product on two devices:

 

  • A MacBook Pro M1 from 2020, running Sequoia 15.1
  • A Macbook Pro 2.6Ghz 6-Core Intel Core i7 from 2019 running Sequoia 15.01

Those music files to be synced number around 27,055 items (according to Finder and Get Info for the local folder)
