Can't upload material to a link from someone else's account?
I'm trying to upload 1.5tb of data to a link on someone else's account. They have expanded their data quota to allow for this much data, however the dropbox upload keeps failing at my end.
the 1.5TB of data is a collection of raw video media (so it's several hundred thousand files within a series of folders)
When I tried to upload this via Apple Safari, the upload repeatedly stopped. I was uploading by loading the URL for the upload link to my friend's dropbox account, and then either dragging & dropping the files onto the upload link or using the folder hierarchy to navigate through the folders to select the material from an external hard drive.
I've tried swapping to using Google Chrome for the upload, and now the upload link is asking for my name & email address (as per image below). this link wasn't asking for this information on the Safari web page; why am I being asked to submit my name & email? I've tried putting in my name & email address on the google page
Further, the google chrome link doesn't appear to be working either

I've tried uploading to my friend's dropbox account using Google Chrome as my browser; however there are no indications that the process has started or how far it has progressed. How will I know when the upload is in progress or complete?
At least when I was uploading using Apple Safari as my web browser, the page would tell me what percentage of each file had uploaded, and would put the usual green tick against any files that had already been uploaded, but the upload would finish early; usually within 20 minutesAlso, when I was first trying to do this upload, I was using a 5G wifi connection from my router, but now I have swapped over to a hard wired connection to my router in the hope that this connection will eliminate the possibility of WiFi dropouts. My upload speed is about 36 MBpS
