Too many files app crash

[bookplay]

I have 500.000+ files on two folders.
And I need to sync it to my computer, but the DropboxApp always crash while initializing.

What can I do ??

In this case, as your Dropbox account contains such a large amount of files,  I'd suggest that you used our selective sync option (which lets you control which files and folders are being synced with your computer) to speed this process up @bookplay 

Let me know how this goes!

Hello, I've tryed to un-sync some folders, but it still "Initializing".
The program increases until you use 3.5 GB of RAM and it crashes all time.

I have excatly the same issue on a new Windows 10 computer.  As we use it for business, we need a fix rapidly or it will be very problematic... 

I could read on the forum that this problem is not new (already some cases reported in July)... 

Wait rapidly for a fix...

Hello, I have not received any emails yet.

Hey there (@bookplay), thanks for the nudge!

Now if I may chime in with a bit of advice here, let me quickly suggest logging in to our support system by visiting dropbox.zendesk.com with the email address you use for your Forum profile, so as to see the brief message Walter sent you. You‘ll need to create a password there, as it is separate from your Dropbox account. 

I hope that this helps-even slightly!

I'd also suggest that you took a look at your email's spam folder @bookplay!

@Christophe4 - have you tried using selective sync to speed up your desktop application since you have so many files?
