These were mostly video clips, so maybe some process akin to "let us helpfully identify all your media folders, no need to ask first, we'll just do it!" tricked dropbox into thinking the files were being opened and needed to be downloaded locally. I am wondering if some sort of indexing happened in the background of Windows to trigger this. I will respond if this strange behavior starts again. I updated the root folder to "cloud-only" and they are now all "online only" and file properties reveal that while the size is 169GB the "size on disk" is back down to where it would be expected for online only - 32mb. The folders were a mix - most were still gray, but the few subfolders containing files that had synced locally had the green tick. When I rebooted just now, it is no longer paused, but simply says "up to date" (whereas yesterday it said something about syncing 8,000 files). As I was waiting for a response, I finished up my work day.įor a few minutes, I was getting "Smart Sync Download Failed" (not 100% sure of phrasing but that was the gist) messages as files failed to locally sync due to the paused status.
I paused syncing while it was doing this because I did not have the space to locally sync all these files.
