I know there is an older (2019) post about this, but the time left to sync seems to have disappeared again. any idea why this has disappeared again. Now when I hover over the icon, it just shows 'upd...

? maybe that's what shows up on a mac, but on a pc in sync history you get the number of mgb out of the total mgb that have been uploaded so far, but no time. so you have to just guess how long the remaining mgb would take to upload. so at least for pc users, the function is still missing

@Korrofilms This is helpful but I am also on Mac and experiencing what @none22 says; there is size and remaining, but no time remaining.

- yep - seeing the same thing on my pc - so you can see what's been uploaded so far, but not time remaining. and since the initial response, nothing but crickets here about if/when this might be fixed.
- Korrofilms1 year agoHelpful | Level 6Yeah, it appeared for me, then disappeared again. It was showing individual files with their time left and data size remaining info alongside them, so more useful than the old single time left indicator. But then it started screwing up, showing files had finished uploading, when they hadnât at all, and now itâs gone entirely. No idea whatâs going on, as no one from DB support seems to care to respond properly.

Hi there none22 & Korrofilms - sorry to hear you're still having issues with this.
Could you please clarify your device's exact OS version and the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your system tray at the moment?
Did you reboot your computer since you first noticed this by the way?

macOS Sonoma 14.4.1
Dropbox version 197.4.7629Yes, system rebooted. Everything else normal.

already gave you that info and yes the computer has been rebooted. a previous message indicated you all were aware of a problem and were working on it. so continuing to ask for the same information from users is not getting at the real problem.
