I recently re-installed my Mac and want to restore my storage from Dropbox. All goes well, except for a herd of issues when syncing sparsebundles and folders containing lots of small files, like source code.
Now the Dropbox app is constantly telling me "Syncing X files" where X is never decreasing, just constantly syncing without progress. With selective sync, I narrowed down which files are causing issues, and it's definitely the .sparsebundles, Cryptomator, and general source-code folders.
Did something happen to Dropbox sync? It was always bomb-proof and never had issues thanks to block-level syncing (which makes sparsebundle syncing a wonderful experience), but now I can't even get it to download important files.
I use expanding sparsebundles a lot for sensitive files between work<->private Mac, and when certain applications need an "external disk" or disk image to write to, but even just git clones repositories are now causing the Dropbox app to be stuck.
"Sync issues" reports nothing and that everything is great.
I already raised a ticket with support but wanted to post here too, in case others are dealing with similar issues.
On the latest Sequoia 15.2 and Dropbox stable v214.4.5217.
(My inkling tells me this has something to do with the Finder / system integration...)
