Can you share the full error you're getting for the time out failure?

    I tried it again tonight - with no code changes, with the same user account, the same dropbox account, the same files - and the timeout didn't happen.  Strange.  It concerns me that the behaviour is not consistent - and I'm not confident that this is resolved.  We'll wait and see.

     

    Let me know what you find out about the progress detail.  Thanks!

        By the way, we did find an issue that could cause a timeout error like that. That should be fixed now.

        I don't have an update on the progress issue yet.
