Does this fix the perpetual "Syncing..." problem with version 88.4.172?

PlsFixSyncing wrote:Does this fix the perpetual "Syncing..." problem with version 88.4.172?Since the sync delay is due to what appears to be a TOTAL REINDEX for a new SQL engine you can expect its going to be in this version as well, even if they reversed the SQL engine back to the old method, then that one woiuld have to reindex as well so your still stuck.Im as FRACKED OFF as can be, it takes days / weeks for a reindex to complete on our data as we have 2TB+ in 600K+ files.Any educated developers would know to migrate the database, but DB , Oh no lets just do a rebuild, who gives a stuff if it doesnt sync for days I mean our customers can lump it we are the gods of self amazement and the light shining from us well show the way.Priase the D & the B for all sync shall come to those who wait for the weeks of reindex to pass, and the stale data shall be theirs for the taking.... SHOOT ME NOW!

still endlessly 'Syncing...', still thrashing the drive at 100%. Zero indication of what's actually happening. This is pathetic.

I'm still experiencing the endless sync problem that everyone else started having from the update 2 weeks ago and discussed here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Files-folders/Dropbox-is-stuck-syncing-after-an-update-what-can-I-do/m-p/392086

Hi nikhilm,I fully agree with Hexrby! "Customers don't care how you compile your code or app. Customers pay you for features or services which you provide." Customers interest in working solutions and quality products! Yes, more QA is need, for everything. No for misbehaving (buggy) databases, which needs "refresh" (i.e. reindexing everything), from time to time, not very clear why exactly every time. That's the really important!About cross-compilation: Are you count just adding one option '-m32' as a big and heavy new feature?! Seriously?! You don't have to change even the compiler! If you want to introduce new feature, try provide real cross-compilation for ARM architecture, for example. Something many customers would appreciate! If you want to know something more about cross-compilation, especially in Linux, take a look. The last, but not least, what kind of such compilation we are talking about, while the main application part is in Python (i.e. scripting language, which compile to platform indipendent bytecode) - only for few libraries?!Good news is your "new feature" don't affect how menu appear of the 32-bit version (i.e. works, still). Unfortunately, the same statement isn't true for 64-bit build, still! For example, in 32-bit build every submenu looks like:Same thing on 64-bit build looks like:As could be seen, no any trace to any submenu (either changes or snooze).Something else: while hover Dropbox systray icon the popups are different. For 32-bit build everything looks fine:There is information what's going on. For 64-bit build such info is missing:There is something wrong in your 64-bit build, as could be seen above.There is also something wrong for both, 32 and 64 bit builds. File browser views stay inupdated after sync finished:Please, Fix everything noted above!

Dropbox installer will not run windows 10
Does not run as administrator either. THis is true for both the online and the offline installer.
A week ago I was notified by dropbox that it needed and update, I followed along and downoaded the installer. It would not even execute.

WTF is going on here? I've been using dropbox for more than 6 years, this is the first time the updater wouldn't even run.

It happened two weeks ago that the dropbox needs "one time update."
All files in the dropbox folder keep synchronizing - like I have installed the account in a new computer.
Fine. It was lucky the company was having a long holiday and I just let the the computer to do the work.
AND WHAT THE **bleep** IT STARTS UPDATING AGAIN?????
I have no time this time. STOP THESE STUPID UPDATES UNTIL YOU CAN CALL IT A "STABLE" BUILT!!!!
