The Dropbox desktop app has stopped working on my device
I'm here because the Dropbox desktop app stopped working without warning, disrupting my workflow.

Stuck syncing thousands of files on my Mac.
I was recently experiencing slow syncing on my work account (while hot-spotting from my phone) so I updated my selective sync settings to only link to specific folders, but that made the 'syncing files' number jump into the thousands.
