Desktop Syncing from Cloud Stuck / Takes Forever
Its been days now that my desktop dropbox isnt syncing with my Dropbox account. Several camera pictures were taken from my phone have been uploaded to the cloud network but unable to sync my desktop...
- 5 years ago
After several attempts of troubleshoting, trial and error on several settings...
uninstall / reinstall desktop application
unlink / relink my computer
proxy / no proxy
fix hardlinks and permissions
reset OS folder location and reset file warning options
leaving laptop online for days and nights waiting to sync from the cloud...
....
finally it synced. Unfortunately, root cause still unknown and no direct solution was identified for this issue. Thank you.

Hi Rishabhdev; thanks for joining our Community and happy Friday!
Could you send us what the desktop app is reporting at the moment within your computer's system tray/menu bar so we can have a look too?
Assuming that you're running the most recent, stable version of the app, can you please check if there's an antivirus, a firewall or even a VPN/proxy setting that could be causing this?
If you can normally access the app's preferences, have you tried adjusting the bandwidth settings to see if that improves matters?
Keep us posted!
