It is a tool that provides information about your Macs critical areas. If that doesn’t work, try the steps below. You can wait a few minutes for Dropbox to catch up. Note: If your device has an unreliable internet connection or a file is very large, it may take longer for Dropbox to sync. Learn more about how Dropbox syncs your files. Once you click on it, you open CleanMyMac X Menu. You see errors like Dropbox is damaged or access denied. ![]() To keep track of your Dropbox folder before it over-inflates, click on the small iMac icon in the Menu bar. So it’s a bit confusing for me, so if anyone has some insight regarding this, or if Dropbox is just pretty bad. Click User Cache Files and make sure Dropbox is selected. Memory: 32 GB Kingston HyperX 1866 MHz DDR3 PC3-14900 RAM. Sound: Realtek ALC668 HD Audio with Klipsch Speakers. Open the file manager and enter the following in the location bar. CPU: Intel Core i7-4900MQ CPU 3.8 GHz (8MB Cache) Graphics: Dual GeForce GTX 780M SLI 2x4 GB GDDR5 RAM. ![]() To manually clear the cache and scrub confidential files through the Dropbox desktop app follow these steps: 1. If you delete a file from your Dropbox it may still be stored in this Dropbox cache folder. The only thing that 'worked' was to lock the folder, which I did. I have restarted my computer a few times. Just restart your Mac more often and the cache won’t be a problem anymore. Example: I start the computer with just Dropbox, Dropbox is done scanning, Syncthing does scan, and then Dropbox starts to churn a bit afterwards. Dropbox maintains a cache version of files for efficiency and emergencies. The cache keeps your modifications, it normally refreshes automatically when you restart your computer or after a few days. ![]() ![]() PS: it could also be a bug with Dropbox’s client their client churns the disk for a long time after Syncthing does a scan, even if it’s been running a long time. If I only run one (either ST or Dropbox), the scanning typically completes within 5 minutes (mentioning this so it’s not just “you have a lot of files so high IO is normal when scanning”) I am also using normal Syncthing (with no iowatch mods), with it scanning just once every 24 hours, if this matters. Dropbox cache was designed to offer users a quick and effortless way to restore deleted files, so it retains a copy of every single file you delete, on your HDD. I notice that if Syncthing scans the folder at the same time as Dropbox’s client does, eg upon startup, they both eat 100% IO for several hours. I am syncing my ~/Dropbox folder with ~65k files in it on Linux. Hey, are there any optimizations I can do with Syncthing to have it work better with Dropbox?
