Hey gcuster, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Would you mind guiding me through the exact steps you followed to upload the files to your Dropbox?

 

Also, have you tried using a different browser, or a private browsing window, to see if you get a different behavior?

 

Keep me posted.
