Hi, I was attempting to upload some files to a shared folder however the upload was taking too long, I did attempt a few times however shut it each time because of how long it was taking. I then compressed the files and tried again and it worked. I then however received emails from dropbox saying all the previous attempts had been uploaded also despite me closing the windows and not waiting. Please can anyone confirm if all uploads will have gone through? Or just the final one which actually fully uploaded and I waited until it had all gone through. Thanks in advance!

    Hey Sml14, thanks for posting today! 

    Can you take a look into Walter's reply here? 

    If I were you, I'd also take a look at the Events page.

    The Events page gives you an overview of all activity in your account, including file events (adds/edits/deletes), as well as adding or removing shared folders. 

    Let me know what you find.
