Dropbox stuck indexing 2 files

[Sirrel Squirrel]

I've had a search on Google but can't find a useful answer.

Dropbox on my laptop appears to be stuck indexing 2 files and it is causing the HDD to constantly spin trying to index whatever it is indexing, as a result my laptop pretty much grinds to a halt.

Problem is I can't workout what files it is trying to index so that I can move them out of the Dropbox folder.

Any ideas?

I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it but it still gets stuck on the same 2 files.

If it's not indexed, will it not have a different icon? I think it'll still have a blue circular arrow instead of a tick (or that might be uploaded status, not sure).

Move to OneDrive.

You may have to filter by process name.

C:\Windows\System32\resmon.exe > Disk > Disk Activity.

Thanks that sorted it, didn't realise I could click the dropbox process and see the files.

Cheers
