I have a trouble of dropbox syncing on macOS 10.15 Catalina.When I restart my macbook pro, dropbox starts syncing all the time and it shows all my files in dropbox is syncing.The syncing may take a long long time,and when I restart my MBP,it starts over again and again and again.This problem starts with the beta version of macOS 10.15 to the stable version released 2 days ago.I have tried to pause the syncing or reinstall the dropbox application,but the problem never resolved.Please HELP!Thanks.

Hello @care4rei.
Thanks for raising this thread. Welcome to Dropbox Community!
Please let me know if you reinstalled after your OS went stable and also the amount of files you are syncing and your Internet speed.
You can try a speed test. - http://www.speedtest.net

My network bandwidth is 300Mbps.All the applications over intenet work fine except dropbox.And the dropbox on the other PC runs Windows 10 on the same nework works fine too.The problem starts with the macOS 10.15 Catalina.Dropbox works fine in my MBP on macOS 10.14 and before.
I will be glad to investigate this further. Syncing difficulties can occur on all Operating systems and versions. It will be very helpful for us to take a look into device details, so I can send you an email to do this if you wish.
However, I would like to go through the basic troubleshooting steps here before we do that. Bear with me, I have a few more things to confirm with you.
Please feel free to ask questions if you need guidance to confirm the above.
Thanks for the additional info.

Exactly the same here!
After all night of syncing ca. 160 000 files it started syncing them again when I restarted my MacBook Air.
Polish version of Dropbox.
Hi,
I confirm it too, since the Catalina upgrade I have the same issue
Syncing is a process that can fail due to various reasons. It would be great to provide more details so that I can identify the cause of the issue and understand if you are all facing the same.
If the issue described is the same for all, we can offer one solution, but if not I will be happy to troubleshoot with all of you. Please get back to me with additional information.
Thank you!
P.S. @care4rei thanks for letting us know how you solved this and your feedback.

After the latest system update everything works fine - without any action from my side.
So glad to hear that @Zbig!
For those that don't know how to find our latest stable version. Here is a link:
