4 years agoHey g v., sorry to jump in, but could you provide some additional information?
Specifically, I'd need a screenshot of the desktop app's exact status as shown in your menu bar while I'd also appreciate it if you could confirm the hard drive space available on your computer.

Hi Walter ,
I just tried another thing: A search for "Unique" photos in my whole Dropbox and the Photos library with Tidy Up 6. Photos that failed to upload should show up as unique in the Photos library, whereas Photos that I already deleted from my Photos app should show up as Unique in Dropbox. This way I should be able to see which uploads failed.
Well, I only get a handful of unique photos from the Photos library. All of these are blurry unimportant images taken by accident. I somewhat remember to have deleted them from Dropbox Camera Uploads at some time.
This would mean that eventually, everything got uploaded to Camera Uploads.
So the search for unique items with a duplicate finder that can display unique items is probably the best way to check if everything went ok.
A confirmation from Dx that the failed uploads were eventually done would be nice, since it creates some unease if I only know that some uploads failed at some point.
thanks for getting back to me. I think this is solved.
