Dropbox freezes while finalizing large file upload (3 gb MOV file)

Stuck on 1 second left. Need help/advice on this ASAP.   Is this a Dropbox thing or an error. Can this be fixed?

    Hello

    Thanks for reaching out here in the Community

    Are you using the Web interface (Browser) to upload the files?  if so, consider using the Desktop Client instead.  It will sync large files without issues.  Web interface uploads are known for issues.

     

    if using the browser is your only way to use Dropbox then try to use a different browser

I'm using the latest Mac and not using such an app.

Well, I just moved the large file elsewhere, which resolved the issue. Thank you!

Why is there a website if it only works properly in the app?
