Thanks for posting about this on the Community, ar1zona1!

 

Can you clarify what’s the total size of files you’re uploading at once via the Dropbox website? 

 

As for your desktop app, have you set the default for new files/folders to be online-only (via your app preferences)? I’d like to make sure that, after uploading to our website, the Dropbox app won’t sync them locally, which would affect your hard drive space.
