@Andres Garrido , the problem with 5min timeout goes form 2017. I think they don't want to increase it unfortunately 😞

gaganov Thanks for the note! I've restored your message.
And yes, there is a 5 minute timeout, and I'm not aware of any current plans to change that limit itself. It looks like the issue here is that progress stalls for some reason, causing the operation to then hit the timeout. I'll follow up here once I have any news on this.

Yes, connectivity speed of 150mbps or so (middle for the 5 minutes) between Dropbox and a CDN like Akamai Technologies (one of the links above) is... 😁 no very impressive.

gaganov Yes, while the timeout itself is still in place, there appears to be a recent degradation causing the transfer progress to stall well before the timeout is reached, causing the operation to then hit the timeout. This is open with the team to investigate the cause of the progress stalling.
