    Hi again, just want to let you know that it worked perfectly, just takes some time to show up on various computers depending on internet speed.

Hey, thanks for sharing your situation with us. I am new on this forum, but I think I can help you out. Have you tried splitting the backup file into smaller parts and then uploading them onto Dropbox? This might help with the download failure. Also, have you considered using remote access software like TeamViewer or AnyDesk? This would allow you to remotely access your work computer and view the updated records in real time, even while you're away.Besides, I think I found one source that might be helpful to you.
