Waiting to sync (Mac)
Since yesterday, Dropbox won't sync files on my iMac.
The app constantly says 'syncing 175 files', but nothing happens
Manual upload does work. So apparently there is nothing wrong with the internet connection.
I have a 6.25 GB account with only 2.8 GB in use.
I have already uninstalled the Dropbox app and downloaded and installed the latest version.
Restarting the Mac doesn't solve anything either
I looked on my Mac for the cache to empty it, but I can't find it.
I recently significantly reorganized my Dropbox folders, could that be a cause?
Strange though is that after that at least one file was automatically synced.
When I click "View sync issues," there are no sync issues.
Is it possible to see which files are syncing based upon the icons of the folders in Finder?
If so try moving the folder/directory out of Dropbox to say desktop, let it sync to clear icon/up to date and then return it the folder. That usually works.
