Hello Kevin,
Uploading the documents folder from laptop containing 14000 plus files in 20 plus folders, at the conclusion of the upload there were over 500 errors (files that failed to upload). I saw "try again" next to each failed file but can't find any option to re-attempt an upload of the failed files specifically. Then the box showing the upload details, including the failed uploads, disappeared and now I can't even try to determine exactly which files failed or why, much less attempt to upload them again. And I don't want to re-upload the entire documents folder. For one thing, it took hours. And I don't know what caused the files that failed to upload and it seems almost certain the same thing would happen again.
Any help much appreciated!!

Rather than Improving Uploads how about deleting a Dropbox of files? As the name indicates Dropbox is for files to drop in & take out not a permanent backup. If that was the case the name should be Backupbox. , I have used all the delete instructions to remove the contents of my Dropbox, with no change, the storage is still full. I tried uninstalling dropbox & reinstalling still not change box still showing full. I have deleted the backup file still no change How do I delete all my old unwanted files in my dropbox???
