Ronald -- please check my solution to the un-numbered syncing I posted here: (my long post outlining symptoms and solutions): https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Files-folders/Dropbox-is-stuck-syncing-after-an-update-what-can-I-do/td-p/389422/page/12
Is there a way to revert to build 88.4.172 and at the same time prevent auto-update? This Preview problem on MacOS X Catalina is really annoying as I work with PDF files all the time (I am a researcher), it also interferes with LaTeX!
Thanks.
@ЗдравкоThank you for this! :-) Quick question, where do you find the "Download earlier version of your choice"?
And also, to do what is mentioned in your link, do you need to uninstall the current version of dropbox install, and will it be able to overwrite it with the new earlier version of my choice?
Regards,
Hi Julien6767,
Download earlier version of your choice.
It's not mandatory to uninstall your current version, if not need for some other reason. Selected Install will override current install. Read more carefully for the unfreezing. :wink:
Hope this adds clarity.
Hi tonyskate,
Absolutely same - no, but equivalent - Yes. When you want, removing Deny mark will let Dropbox auto update again. You didn't mention explicitly and I assume you ask for revert to previous version. Alternative variants are also possible in all cases (just preventing updater process run, in cases there is such independent process - on Windows & Mac there is).
Hope this helps.
Hi Здравко, thanks but that did not help. Dropbox tries to update anyway and when I stop the process before it's done, Dropbox in older version is still stuck at syncing and eats CPU & disc.
It has been like that for about two weeks and Dropbox support does not care at all or more propably they don't have any solution and who knows if they are gonna ever fix it.
Hi tonyskate,
Probably you didn't notice:

I'm commenting how you can revert Dropbox version, nothing more. I don't use Windows regularly, in fact, to be honest. I fully agree that Dropbox QA is very bad and need significant improvements, definitely. They use final users as some alpha testers (and all this for "stable builds")!
