I'm trying to upload my current files from iCloud to Dropbox because my files were disappearing from iCloud, and I lost files that can't be replaced. Some of the uploads say it's going to take 5 days...

Hi duncan620 

My guess is you are trying to just drag/drop from iCloud to Dropbox. That will cause issues if your internet etc. times out. 

You need to download the files locally to your computer/device and THEN upload to Dropbox
