Having combined two sizeable databases, each approx 11,000 items, I am pruning items. After each sync, I get an email from Dropbox to say I’ve deleted files from my Dropbox account (and if I want them back then I have until xxx to restore them).
The number of files deleted far exceeds the number of items I delete before each sync. The folders shown in the Dropbox advice are all to do with the DT Packet Sync. Would I be right in thinking that the DT Packet Sync generates far more files for the sync?
This depends on the files - small ones are merged by sync, huge ones are split. But you shouldn’t get such notifications if you exclude the folder ~/Dropbox/Apps/DEVONthink Packet Sync folder in the preferences of the Dropbox.app. This speeds up also the sync.
