Hi there,

I started having this issue today as well. Dropbox is stuck syncing 2 files and it's driving me nuts. I'm on an iMac Pro running Big Sur 11.2.1. I restarted the machine, restarted Dropbox, fixed hardlinks, fixed permissions, but nothing. It's still stuck, and I'm unable to upload anything. We use this for work, and have thousands of files on there. Never encountered this problem until today. Not sure what else to do?

Hey there ache75; I'm sorry to jump in here and sorry to hear you're having issues with this. 

Since you've done some troubleshooting already, can you perform a clean, advanced reinstall and let us know how it goes?

If syncing gets stuck again, please let me know here and I'll reach out via email to investigate further.
