If updating and re-indexing all your files now means:

*displaying contradictory/nonsensical sync icons which make sync status unclear;

*downloading all your online-only content to your hard drive, eating up all the space;

*still not being anywhere near finished indexing/downloading/syncing, so the app must be paused and the computer shut down as unusable in the meantime;

*and creating a bunch of conflicted sync folders after being told to unlink and relink--then starting the indexing/downloading/syncing process all over again

...is "expected behavior" and not a bug, I genuinely wish I'd been given the choice to opt out before this update messed up my computer. :(
