I have the same problem with browser/website freezing and becoming unresponsive. I have a larger picture archive on an external harddrive I am trying to upload to dropbox with approx. 450 GB and  37.000 files  via the latest Chrome browser. But I have had no luck on this, so I am trying to figure out what the max size upload that the dropbox website/browser can handle in one go.

I found an entry saying that the max size is 375 GB at a time so I cut the folder in half and tried with 175 GB but same result. Website becomes unresponsive and does not upload any even after waiting 30 min.

    Hey NilsRandrup - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

    If this persists after clearing your browser's cache and/or on another browser (preferably with no extensions or plugins running), I'd suggest doing it in smaller chunks.

    In any case, please keep us posted!
