This risk is usually slight, but it sounds like you might have won that particular lottery. This all started happening maybe a few months ago.Īnytime you’re transferring (copying or moving or syncing) a file between two places, there is the risk of file corruption if the transfer gets interrupted. Dropbox is in constant sync mode, and this in itself is puzzling because all file or folder changes sync at normal tempo. I tracked it down to Dropbox and solved it by closing Dropbox. I've tried reinstalling many times, tried the advanced reinstall guide, cleared temporary files, checked the registry for errors with CCleaner and no luck so far.Occasionally but regularly I get an error message when I try to delete or move a file or folder saying that a file is in use by another program (never specified, of course). The sync bar gets stuck on 'starting', and then a few minutes later dropbox will just shut down I tried to delink and relink my account to force it to updateĪfter the account was relinked, it crashes 2-3 minutes after opening Dropbox every time. Other dropbox files stopped syncing while this was happening. It made no progress after about 6 hours even though we have a very fast fiber internet connection Yesterday I tried to make a large folder (around 350gb) online only to save hard drive space. Here's an overview of what's happened so far All of my important files are on the business account, there's not much on my personal account. I have a business account connected to a personal account. Hey everyone, I'd hugely appreciate any help as I've spent the entire day trying to get dropbox to sync.
