Hi Jay
Thank you ever so much for your message.
Right up front. For some reason, after a couple of hours, the sync was finished and all the over 650'000 files where in sync again. 🙂
I just don't understand why I hat to sign up again and why it started to sync again.
The Smart Sync I have set to "Local" in the Dropbox Client and it seems to be all ok now. There was no OS update recently.
My Dropbox folder is on an external hard drive. All I can guess, is that the USB hard drive was not hooked up properly to the system and that is why it did ask me to sign in again.
Again Jay, thank you for your help. I'm using Dropbox for many years now and had no problem what so ever.
Take care

Be VERY careful using Dropbox like this. If the USB drive isn't connected when Dropbox launches or becomes disconnected while Dropbox is running, Dropbox could see that sudden loss of files as a mass deletion and start to delete the files in your account.
