socket.timeout issue even with session upload
Hello I have quite a large amount of files on my machine and I have given up using the dropbox app as it just will not sync.
I am using the dropbox python sdk but I am having socket.timeout issues....

Dropbox StaffGenerally speaking, nearly everything below 150 mb should work fine with the files/upload endpoint.
Could you please post a copy of the timeout error you're getting in both scenarios?
This could indicate some server or network issues. Is there anything that could be interfering with your connection to Dropbox such as a firewall or proxy?
hi Taylor,
Some investigations I am getting the following tracert for dropbox's IP
I am getting really bad latency to 162.125.64.8 at around 600-800ms on the python call. Something weird is going on here. Is this an SDK or python issue?

The tracert and ping looks awesome.
