    Why are they not uploading? You havent exactly given us much to go on.

    After you put them in to the Dropbox folder have you given them time? 70gb is a HUGE file and is going to take A LONG TIME to upload. I'd say at least a few days. Mousing over your Dropbox icon on the status bar will tell you what its doing.

     

    Please remember as well that to upload via the website there is a 10gb per upload limit (i.e. all files must be less than 10gb).

I just had the same issue. I upgraded to 1T storage specifically so I could transfer a large file (144gb) and was prepared to leave it uloading as long as it takes, but a message comes up immediately saying file too large. It refuses to start the upload at all. What a waste of money that upgrade was!
