My upload keeps getting stuck 1/3 of the way through

The most frustrating thing - When I upload a file to Dropbox, it keeps getting stuck at the same spot, about 1/3 of the way to completion. 

 

HELP! I've been struggling with this since last year!

    How large is the file, and how are you trying to upload it? Are you using the Dropbox website on a computer, mobile device, etc., or are you using one of the Dropbox apps? What error message are you getting?

    Hi there, thanks for responding. 

     

    The files I'm needing to upload are pretty small, between 70mb and 150mb most of the time. If I try to upload something that's over 100mb, it'll keep getting stuck at 101mb. 

     

    I'm using the Dropbox website. 

     

    I work remotely 2 days a week, and those times when I'm at home, this is when the issue happens. When I go to work, the issue disappears. So I have no idea.

     

    I have a Windows PC setup in both places, so I honestly have no idea. 

     

    Maybe there's a corrupt file messing something up somewhere?

    Hey there Jessica26 - sorry to jump in here, but have you tried clearing your browser's cache or using another browser, preferably with no extensions or plugins running to see if you get the same results?
