Backup will never complete

I am using Backup for a Seagate Hard Drive that I download file changes to weekly. So far all of the File Folders and Sub Folders are the but only 75% of the folders have content in them. This Drive has been connected for 6 days so it should be complete.

 

Sometimes it tells me to plug in a drive that is already plugged in so not sure what is going on there.

 

I am using this as a test to see if I want to subscribe to Dropbox Business, but so far I would call it a fail.

    Hi JamesW, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you check you've removed the limit on the upload bandwidth in the Dropbox desktop application?

     

    Keep me updated with any progress!

    According to the Dropbox site, what is the current status of the external drive backup?
