Uploading large folder.
Just have a question about uploading large folders. In the past, I've noticed that folders upload quicker when the contents of the folder are uploaded one by one. However, on Dropbox, it keeps trying...
150GB is the rough folder size pretty much. I've uploaded the same files to Google Drive with no problem it's just one of the people I'm working with prefers Dropbox. On Google Drive, it uploaded them one by one and was finished within 12 hours. I started the upload on Dropbox almost a day ago and it's been stuck finalizing the same 2 files for about the past 3 hours. Idk it's annoying to me because the majority of the folder is uploaded to Dropbox, it's just taking way longer than it did for Google Drive to do and I reckon it's just because it's trying to upload two things at once. I've experienced similar problems with other programs while uploading 2 things at once but each program has had some sort of download and upload settings you can play around with to ensure only one thing uploads at a time (e.g. YouTube, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Google Drive etc.)

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey smileyriley, thanks for the info.
I have to admit that 150GB is quite the size for the app to sync, but I also hear where you're coming from.
I'd suggest for future reference that you may add the first one, wait for it to sync and the proceed to the second file/folder.
As for the app being stuck: would you mind clarifying the app's version, and syncing status at the moment?
