My Speedtest still shows 70mbps download, 7mbps upload. As you can see, the "avg files/hr" picked up significantly between 8pm-8am this morning, but then once I started doing things it grinded back down.

I put together a spreadsheet and pasted part of it below (ignore first row). I don't believe that hlped last time so we'll see. I had alrady fixed HardLinks (which seems to take about a second-is that right?) and permissions (takes a few minutes) but just did all of that again. Thank you for the quick response and suggestions. Luckily I had the files I need to work on but there is no way this should take this long and keep resetting the numbers. Until I can figure this out, it's having an extreme impact on my productivity. It got "down" to 650k files then for no apparent reason seemed to restart at the 2.4M. It was going at about 10k files per hour (which means like a week) though I don't know how to calculate the speed. If I'm not downloading all of them why does it show that? I did copy these files from an older backup, thinking that would help. Even though I just selected that many, the synch started at 2.5M files. In selective Synch I selected about 14,000 total files for about 29GB.

Speedtest shows about 75mbps download,, and everything else is moving fine. I've reset permissions and links, checked "no limit" for upload/download, and rebooted the computer and router many times. Per my calculations, average file size is 500 KB, though a majority are probably much bigger Dropbox says I have 2.4 million files (which is hard to believe but I can't verify it since neither the desktop app nor the Web show how many there are-would be a nice feature). Dropbox takes at least half an hour before it starts synching (it just says "Starting"). I use Kaspersky Internet Security but disabled it (which I'm not happy about). Running Mac Catlina 10.15.4 and Dropbox v19.4.172 (latest for Mac). I am now having extreme issues getting everything synched back up and it's been over a week! I've reviewed many articles but can't get to the answer. To save time (I thought), I kept almost all the files on Dropbox rather than backups. To clean up and speed things up, I recently reformatted the hard drive on my Mac and did a complete reinstall of everything including Dropbox. NOTE: I posted this yeserday but it was marked as spam for some reason.
