Dropbox Community ModeratorHi sportsman1, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just to check, were you directly uploading files to the Dropbox site, or by moving files into the Dropbox folder with the Dropbox desktop application installed?
This will help me to assist further!
The dropbox site through a web browser, not through a dedicated dropbox software app as I refer.

Generally, uploading through the site doesn't allow for files to be restarted.
Do the files preview normally on the site? What about after you download them to your computer?
From what I recall when I got back to Dropbox after I restarted the computer as if I had no choice, I see that my files are uploaded through successfully. But since there's like more than 5000 of them, I can't tell if all of them has gone through or if some has lost. Yes, I can see the preview of files being lined up while at the downloading phase but then upon restart, it no longer shows the files preview tab - don't know what that means as I assume the uploads are done but then maybe some files are lost despite the long "17 seconds and 1 file to go" lag and also my file explorer was also freezing/not responding at the time.
