What does "Committing uploads" mean with `sync` from Dropbox to local?

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

(Not a problem, exactly, but something I'd like to know.)

When using sync to make a local directory like a Dropbox directory (i.e. to snapshot a Dropbox directory), what does this line mean?

INFO : Dropbox root '{REDACTED}': Committing uploads - please wait...

Because I'm syncing from Dropbox to local, I expect there to be no uploads to Dropbox. This line makes me nervous that perhaps sync may make uploads to the source.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.60.1-DEV
- os/version: linuxmint 22 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 6.8.0-40-generic (x86_64)
- os/type: linux
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.22.2
- go/linking: dynamic
- go/tags: none

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Dropbox

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone \
    sync \
        --create-empty-src-dirs \
        --verbose \
        Dropbox:{REDACTED}/ \
        {REDACTED}/

Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.

{
    "Dropbox": {
        "token": "{\"access_token\": \"{REDACTED}\",\"token_type\":\"bearer\",\"expiry\":\"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z\"}",
        "type": "dropbox"
    }
}
