Skip to main content. When I try to use Clean it appears to download each file before inspecting it, which defeats the object of keeping the file in the cloud even though its name and details appear in Finder in my Dropbox. I assumed that the answer was to go to Clean in My Norton and click on Settings - Similars and Duplicates - Exclusions - Paths and add my Dropbox to the exclusions list.
This issue is hyper-annoying and this issue melts away a lot of the value that I get from using dropbox. I can't say I've paid enough attention to detect whether or not Fridays are a contributing pattern on my end, but it is particularly obnoxious today. It does seem to want to gravitate toward audio files as the files it tries to download even though I want them set to online only. It's possible there are different reasons I experience it on one OS versus the other, that is not ruled out.
I will keep monitoring for clues, and I'll update you if I make any headwind on solving this issue. I'm suspicious that something on my system is periodically "indexing" in a way that tries to open up files that in turn causes smart sync to begin downloading. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot finding a process that is doing that behavior? Rachel L. The fact that this happens consistently on the same day of the week, Friday, leads me to think that maybe there is some scheduled task running then.
Is there a backup or other utility doing something on Fridays? Do keep monitoring for clues, and let me know how it goes. Sanchez Community Moderator Dropbox dropbox. Did this post help you? If so, please give it a Like below. Still stuck? Ask me a question! It's Friday again and guess what! Yep, Dropbox started and succeeded, with at least one trying to download the zipped files.
I've temporarily paused it to try to avert the issue for now. There's definitely something weird about Fridays. Sanchez , I don't have any tasks scheduled that I'm aware of this computer is new as of October and I've never set up any scheduled tasks , and the only "automatic" backup I have enabled is Dropbox itself.
I've looked all over in the Dropbox settings but have no idea what could be causing this or why it targets the same files though last time, it started trying to download a folder it's never tried before, so maybe if I let it keep at this it'd start trying to download everything? I don't even know if Windows indexing could be to blame, since two of the folders it occasionally tries to download are both online only AND I've set Windows to not index them.
So that can't be the cause. EDIT, incidentally, earlier in the day I was looking at the placeholders for a few files in one of the online-only folders Dropbox often tries to download it didn't get to today before I paused it ; I didn't download anything though I did try searching for a file didn't work, since Windows hasn't indexed them. I also saved a few new files into that folder, and made them online only. I have no anti-virus software, no third party apps, nothing.
