Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
Using the Mac version 88.4.172 of the Dropbox app on my 2015 MacBook Pro (with the latest Catalina macOS 10.15.2). Dropbox has been stuck for several weeks on 39 files syncing. I use Smart Sync for a number of folders.
These are the steps I’ve taken to try to fix this issue:
What else can I do?
Cant see wich ones to do that
Struggling to find them to be honest
This solved it, thanks!
I'd say if you have thousands stuck, then it's a file permissions issue that needs to be solved outside of DropBox. Eg bulk change the file permissions of those files to read-write. Also try to move them all out of Dropbox and see what happens to your sync.
Do I understand your problem to be that trying to synce Word and PPT (and I suppose other Office files) is incompatible with Dropbox? My first sync was all jpg photos. I observed that none of the work folders have synced any documents. Also observe that when I delete these folders on the second machine, they all instantly reappear like dragon's teeth. Dropbox is useless.
