This is concerning a case from June 2024:

Problem

On a new Linux Mint installation, I installed Dropbox with my usual account. Some hours later, the status was still Indexing... and no files appeared on this computer.

Possible causes

  • Dropbox basically gets overloaded with too many files to index, and it gets stuck somehow [1]

Additional information

Possible solutions

  • Dropbox » Preferences » Syncing: Select a small enough subtree and extend from there
  • Pause syncing: Indexing will continue under the hood, but much faster now that no new changes have to be incorporated
