    Do you leave your Mac on? If it sleeps it stops syncing - as sleep makes everything stop

I had a similar problem under Yosemite, but I think earlier versions of Mac OS X would behave similarly.

To fix the problem: go to Settings->Energy Saver and check the following:

  • Enable Power Nap
  • Wake for network access
  • Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when display is off

This will allow you to allow your monitor to turn off, and your sync with Dropbox to continue uninterrupted.
