File uploading to all devices except PC...

Hi,  I can't make sense of why one of my files is not uploading to Dropbox on the Pc app.  Here's the info:  I uploaded a huge video file (3 GB) from my mac to Dropbox around 8pm yesterday. ...

    This has been solved. 

     

    The original filename has ':' in the title. Windows doesn't like the colon and apparently refused to upload the file as a result. I've now renamed the file and the PC app has synced it straight away.

    Hey Mark, 

     

    Looks like we typed out messages at the same time! 

    Yes, that was the issue and it's now solved. 

     

    Thank you for your response!
