Can anyone help? I started a 24 page document in Indesign CC 2014 and have been using the file off of a dropbox acct on my two machines (desktop and macbook pro). I need to rearrange some of the pages but when I try to drag and drop the pages in the Pages menu, I get the ominous spinning wheel…for about 20 mins at times. then It will just crash. The document doesn’t have a tone of images. I’ve also tried to collect and package the file but get the same thing.
Other files seem to be fine, I tried to clone the pages over to a new document but I will get the wheel again there as well.
I tried to save the file as an IDML file and then try to open that but still cannot rearrange pages in the Pages panel as needed. Very frustrating.
What should I do?? Help!

No, sorry about that. I should clarify. My file is saved to my dropbox account and i’m sharing it between two computers of mine. (just thought I’d mention that incase that mattered). When I open the file, either on my laptop or desktop, it works fine while doing edits to text and images, but then I needed to rearrange or reorder pages in the Pages window and that is where it ends and goes into the spinning wheel. (if its important, I have master pages set up, the document is set to facing pages and the page numbering system is set to start numbering pages with page 1 on the 3rd actual page of the layout). The document will crash the program when I try to package/collect it for the print house.
Any suggestions? I need to get it ready in a few days and dread having to redo all 24 page of this piece.
Thanks in advance.

Just as a place to look, I have had unpredictable ID crashes when accessing files on a cloud server (granted it was Jungledisk, not Dropbox). The way I fixed it was to use their sync product so that I had a copy physically on my disk that was then synced to the cloud. I know Dropbox works like this out of the box, but there may be something about their syncing engine that is interfering with InDesign (for example, I never had issues with Illustrator or Photoshop with large files in the cloud). It may be their sync engine is too aggressive from a timing standpoint, and the file gets locked at the same time that ID is trying to write to it.
Try making a copy of the file onto your local drive and see if you have the same problem. Then put it in your dropbox folder for syncing. I know this is a pain from a workflow standpoint, but I have seen InDesign choke on cloud files. This cloud technology is great, but it still has some kinks.
