One alternative would be to switch to using "upload sessions", where you upload files in pieces. You could then keep track of how much you've uploaded between each piece:

https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesUploadSessionAppendV2
https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesUploadSessionFinish

That's a good bit more work though. Otherwise, I'm afraid I don't have a workaround to offer.
