So as the title says my CC file sync has been stuck on this infinite loop of "syncing" for several days now. There are no files in the folder but for some reason it's saying that its syncing. It's also continues to have 100% cpu usage the during the "syncing".

Hi Leeems,

- What anti-virus software do you use on the system if any?

- As a test could you try creating a new administrative account, log out of your current account and into the newly created one and test sync from there. I've seen user permissions become damaged when upgrading the OS. Typically reinstalling the Creative Cloud app fixes it, but a new user is a good additional test too.

- I'm not sure how you reinstalled the Creative Cloud app, but uninstalling it with the Cleaner Tool here gives good results in some cases Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

Please get back to me when you get the chance and let me know any of these help,

Best,

- Dave
