Won't stop indexing on Mac

Won't stop indexing on Mac

I installed the mac dropbox update and the application began indexing my files. It has now been stuck for the last few days. I can only access some files. Many are now only available through dropbox.com and not in my app. If I add files to dropbox.com they are added to the indexing queue of the desktop app, but no progress is made regarding indexing. I've tried signing out, quitting, uninstalling, and reinstalling. I've seen similar threads, but no solutions have worked for me. Any help is much appreciated.

Hey @Simonsen & @Marcos12, if you tried the latest version of the desktop app and still having issues with this, may we reach out via email to investigate a bit further?

Hello, Yesterday I solved the problem by installing Dropbox, logging out, and restarting again. Good luck.
