  • Quit <\/span>Dropbox<\/b>
    \n<\/b>Click the <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> icon present on the system tray which is located at the bottom of your screen. Next, click the gear icon in the notifications panel and choose the <\/span>Quit Dropbox<\/b> option.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Uninstall Dropbox<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Once the uninstallation is over, make sure to restart your computer<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Find the <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> metadata folder and delete it<\/span>
    \n<\/span>The folder can be found at <\/span>C:\\Users\\%userprofile%\\AppData\\Local<\/b><\/li>\n
  • Download the latest version of <\/span>Dropbox<\/b>, which can be performed by going to it’s official site<\/span><\/li>\n
  • As the latest version of <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> has been successfully installed in your PC, you can apply your own selective sync settings which you had before reinstalling. It may take a few minutes to get your files re-indexed and sync any pending changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Dropbox Syncing Slowly\/ Not Syncing<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Fix 1: Verify the Dropbox process<\/b><\/h3>\n

    If you need to check the <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> sync process, right-click on the taskbar and open up the <\/span>Task Manager<\/b> and look for the <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> process in the list. When you locate the <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> process, end this process by right-clicking on it and selecting the <\/span>End task<\/b> option.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you can\u2019t find the <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> process in the list then it means that the task has already been ended. Simply relaunch the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Fix 2: Verify the files that you are trying to Sync<\/b><\/h3>\n

    You will have to close a file which you wish to sync first. When you have closed the file, note the filename and make sure that it does not contain any special characters or Unicode<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can also try to copy a new version of the selected file after you have deleted the file from <\/span>Dropbox<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Fix 3: Turn off Selective Sync<\/b><\/h3>\n

    In order to carry out this task, you need to go to the <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> icon and right-click it and then select <\/span>Preferences<\/b>. Next, select the <\/span>Advanced<\/b> option. Following that, you can easily enable <\/span>Selective Sync<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Fix 4: Clear the Dropbox Cache<\/b><\/h3>\n

    First of all, you will have to open <\/span>File Explorer<\/b> and navigate to the <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> folder. The <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> folder can be usually located at <\/span>C:\\Program Files\\Dropbox<\/b><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Locate the <\/span>Dropbox<\/b> cache folder and simply select all of the files present in this folder and delete them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
