Are you able to look in to this issue further? Seems strange dropbox would try to upload the "Relocated Files/Default" folder in the first place, it's not even located in the dropbox or even root user directory but in the Shared directory of Macintosh HD? The personal is all green ticks.ĭoing a complete reinstall and resync is not an option for me right now as I'm on a deadline and use dropbox for business. I should mention I both have a business account and personal account synced to the computer in question and the issue only seems to affect the business account. Now dropbox, rather than being stuck on "Syncing 2 files.", is just stuck on "Checking for changes." instead with all status icons in the file directory perpetually syncing.
This folder had a red icon on it so I tried first to change permissions on it to Read and Write and later delete it completely (after backing it up on external drive). I'm having this exact same issue after upgrading to Catalina, with the exact same access issues to the "Default" folders from the "Relocated Items" folder. Now, if you did online only, you could CONSIDER, for your most important/high use directories, to right-click those and change Smart Sync to "Local." This will set off another longish sync process.When it's fully synced, celebrate and give your computer a pat on the back for the hard work it has done.For me, I have about 500GB in my dropbox and I have a fast fiber internet connection, and it took about 12 hours, even when it was all only the smart-sync set to Online Only.
It might take a full day or more, just depends on how much data is in your dropbox.
