First off, I am indebted to Dropbox as it saved me last year when our house was hit by lightning. I had everything on DB for travel convenience (travel laptop vs tower) so I lost nothing. It took 5 days to resync but I was grateful to have nothing lost.
About once per month, my DB gets sick and cannot get out of bed. It just lays there and says it is syncing 4000 files. So, I leave the MAC on by turning off the energy usage limits and let it do its thing. The next day it comes back and says it is now syncing 281k files! (This makes zero sense as I changed maybe 5 files yesterday.) Thus, it appears to be getting worse. I can still open individual files but I cannot generate links to folders for my collaborators. This is very annoying and that is one of the things I used to love about DB! I'm only using 700G out of 4TB SS memory.
From past experience, I know it will be all better in a few days and my best friend again. Is there anything I can do to stop these fevers/hangovers?
