Downloading Dropbox Incredibly slow
I'm trying to download dropbox onto my new M2 Mac Studio with latest Ventura. It's connected to WiFi and I'm on a 500Gbps internet connection. Every other program, app, file downloads very fast due to my fast internet. However Dropbox is taking forever to download. I got the initial Dropboxinstaller.dmg file quickly, once it dmg gets mounted I double clicked the install and it opens the downloader and it has been going for about 3 hours. Notice the progress bar in the screenshot attached. I've tried clearing the cache in my browser, restarting the computer, cycled my modem and router. Nothing fixes the issue. I also tried to download the offline installer from a link here: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Stable-Build-167-4-4719/td-p/657572 That at first seems fast, but then slows down to a crawl it's currently saying it should be done in a few hours but the time keeps getting longer the more it downloads. BTW I've read other threads about this same issue so clearly you have some problem that is only affecting a few of us. I'd really like to fix the problem and starting using what I'm paying quite a bit for.
New Dropbox desktop update is re-syncing everything.
This new update has messed how my Dropbox works on Desktop too. I also get the 'syncing' symbol on all of my folders, and for some reason Dropbox has decided that it needs to Sync all ~80,000 files all over again despite the fact that I already had everything set up perfectly how I like it and all the files that I needed for offline/online use were already set. It's taken about 2.5 hours out of my work day so far because it's clogging up all my time trying to get this mess sorted.
