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]
