Uploads hang on my PC after an upgrade
Hi
I upgraded my PC and moved my drives but ever since I have this upload issue. Anything large (over 1GB) gets to the end and just hangs.
Tried with the app and web browser(s) but always the s...
I created a new folder and had it sync to dropbox and that worked. My large file uploaded fine.
Is there a way of having that folder upload but not retain a copy or do I need to move it each time to a non sync folder?
I did not want to keep copies on my drive if it's available on my dropbox cloud.
Thanks

Dropbox Community ModeratorGlad that did the trick!
That's a great question, and there are 2 ways to go about it:
1) Create a "Uploads" folder inside your computer's Dropbox folder, so you only need that one enabled. You'd then move the files to the correct places as and when they land on the web.
2) If space is the issue, you can set the default for new files to be "online" and to save space automatically. That way, you can still see and manage the folders in Windows, while not having them take up your hard disk space.
