Create, upload, and share
Find help to solve issues with creating, uploading, and sharing files and folders in Dropbox. Get support and advice from the Dropbox Community.
I have to wait on my macs (27" and two 13" Macbook, three and four years old, newest systems) almost 10 to 15 Minutes until i can use other apps, as dropbox syncs so slow the list. After list is loaded, the file syncing is in normal speed.
An update to the next level (where Smartsync is possible) is too expensive.
So what to do?
Best regards

where to find out how many files you have in Dropbox folder. I have a lot there (350 GB), but I don't know how many different files.
I have been suffering on both my Intel iMacs for years with the same issues. Takes about 15 to 20 minutes for my Mac to become usable while it waits for Dropbox to "startup" and then sync after.
Surprise, upgraded one machine to new M1 iMac and the process takes 30 seconds.
I wonder if anyone had to cahoones to delete dropbox and their dropbox folder, and then re-=download the entire filed and see if that fixed the issue?
