SOLVED: Dropbox gets stuck downloading “n” files…
October 10th, 2011 by steveI love dropbox and have referred it to many people and businesses.
If you’d like a referral, let me know. By your asking and my referring, we both get bonus free space!
Recently, on one of my computers, Dropbox had been stuck “Downloading 7 files…”
This problem persisted for several days.
At first, I tried uninstalling dropbox and deleting the C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Dropbox folder and even deleting all the hidden dropbox files (.dropbox files) in my dropbox folders. But upon re-installation of dropbox, the problem persists.
In the end, I ran chkdsk /F /R.
Upon reboot, chkdsk found many errors and fixed them.
The dropbox problem went away.
