Dropbox is re-syncing my files again?
Why on earth is this happening ?!? its resyncing everything again nothing has been changed why ?
I don't recall any changes to the OS etc. It didn't say re-indexing, it said updating and the number of files kept increasing. After one or two days it was still going like crazy.
I found online somewhere that I should delete filecache.dbx. I did that, restarted dropbox. Now it did re-index all files, but this only took a couple of hours. I've not had a problem since.
I think it would be nice if Dropbox would pay attention to this sort of thing in a more timely fashion for paying customers.
Same here. It affects only one of three Dropbox Pro accounts in our office, but with all six PCs affected, re-syncing over 120,000 files on each machine, creating lots of conflicted copies where files have been edited during this giant re-sync. We are now at 24 hours and counting, as I left all our PCs running overnight in the hope it would finish. This is surely a bug and not normal Dropbox functionality.
