Whenever I start Dropbox (boot my laptop) it takes ~30min of maxed out single-core work to "catch-up" since the "last-update". It's just really annoying as it makes my laptop quite loud.
Why is that? Google Drive doesn't seem to need to struggle that much.
- bluedino 7y agoHow much data (total size/count of files) do you have?
- tasubotadas 7y agoAccording to windows: 371790 files and 15.6GB.
- dmd 7y agoSo... that’s weird. I have a Macbook Air - not the most powerful machine on the planet - and a nearly full 1 TB dropbox with ~3 million files. Initial resync on boot takes under a minute.
- sujayakar 7y agohey, can you file a bug from the app? it will collect a report that we can use to diagnose. there's a "Report Bug" option adjacent to "Preferences..."
- tasubotadas 7y agoI'll do that.
- sujayakar 7y agoif you can email me (my HN username @dropbox.com) the email address associated with your account once you've sent the bug, I can take a look!
