My dropbox app is ALWAYS showing that it is downloading exactly 1,023 files. It has been stuck on this for over 2 weeks. It remains that way even though I have made every folder "online-only". If I do change a folder status from online-only to available offline (or back to online-only) the number of files downloading change according to the number of files in the folder. Then it returns to 1,023 files downloading.
Hey @eddy_z, welcome to our Community!
Are you on a Mac, or a Windows device? Let me know the OS that you have installed there.
Can you also hover your mouse, over your little Dropbox icon, next to your WiFi and let me know its syncing status along with the version of the app?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
