DropboxAPI uploading small files
Hi! I ask for help in solving my problem. I have a Python script that runs on about 500 PCs. After running, each script writes a text file with a size of 60 bytes (approximately) and uploads it to my Dropbox folder. And I ran into such a problem that the created files can be uploaded to Dropbox indefinitely. Sometimes the file can load after 10 minutes, and sometimes after 2 hours or more. I can't figure out what this is related to, please help me figure it out. Here is a piece of my code where a file is created and uploaded to Dropbox.

Hi Alloshka,
I have not been able to replicate the issue you are reporting or identify any anomalies within our systems.
We recommend further troubleshooting potential networking factors on your end, such as:
- Checking if a VPN, proxy, or firewall might be affecting connection speeds.
- Reviewing any security software or configurations that could impact network traffic.
- Testing connectivity from different networks to isolate the issue.
Additionally, we recommend reviewing our Performance Guide for suggested optimizations for your app, as well as error handling documentation and our Error Handling Guide.
