Dropbox application stuck on "Indexing..." on Mac Ventura 13.6

My dropbox has been indexing for close to 2 weeks. ventura 13.6.7

I've tried:

logging in/out

reinstalling dropbox app

Contacted help and they suggested I do selective sync. That didn't help.

I have been working non-stop so there are many files currently on my desktop that have not synced so I am hesitant to delete and start over.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @staci22.

Are you using the File Provider version of the Dropbox app?

How many files are currently in your Dropbox folder?

Also, you mentioned that you contacted our support team; can you please give us the ticket number for your communication, so we can take a look?

Thanks.

lots of files, how do I know if I am using the file provider version?

Thanks for the ticket numbers, @staci22.

About the version of the app, if your Dropbox folder is in ~/Library/CloudStorage, then you're using the File Provider version.

Also, I see that your second ticket was actually sent to our specialists, so I've added your comments here as well and raised the priority of the ticket.

Once the team has reviewed your case, they'll get back to you on what steps you need to follow, etc.

just heard from someone and they manually trigered a re-indexing which I can see is working at the moment.

Happy to hear that, @staci22!

Hopefully, that'll do the trick and fix this for you.

Keep us updated.
