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]
- I'm actually running out of Dropbox storage space (something with server backups). Maybe files are getting added all the time nevertheless, with causes indexing problems
- Indexing is just slow - Keep the computer on, and let's see tomorrow morning.
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
- Remove
Dropbox/.dropbox.cache
Actions
Unless stated otherwise, these actions didn't result in a solution:
- Pause syncing for 15 minutes
- Under Preferences, only select a very small subtree
- Apply same solution as for the Syncing... problem:
echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=100000000 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf; sudo sysctl -p+ restart computer
