Walter Hannah  - When I switch from Safari to Chrome, the page no longer freezes.  However, I get a bunch of incompatibility errors on the file.  I'm trying to upload a Photos Library from my Mac to Dropbox to save space.  However, it seems Dropbox is pretty particular about what it's willing to store.  When I say skip the incompatible files, it starts uploading ~7500 files instead of the one photo library.  Granted, it's 16GB, but that's exactly why I need to put it in the cloud to save space.

Thanks for the additional information psiboxer - much appreciated.

 

I just wanted to mention that it's not really recommended to put your Photos Libraries to Dropbox. You can find more information about this here and here. 

 

I hope this helps to some extent.
