Error when uploading too many files using the mobile app on Android.

Hi

I get an error that I am trying to upload too many files from my Drop Box app. I can see that I can upload a maximum of 350GB at a time, but I can not find anywhere where it says that maximum number of files that can be uploaded at a time.

How many files do I need to make my folders so I can upload them?

I have a few folders with a couple of thoudsands files to one with almost 12000 files.

Thank you for your help and time.

    Hey there Paragno, welcome to our Community!

    Just to make sure we're aligned: do you upload the files manually using these steps? 

    Approximately how many files do you attempt to upload to your account when you get the error? Feel free to send me a screenshot so that I can have a visual too.

    Keep me posted!
