Dropbox supports all file types - it does not stop any time of file being sync'd. It may, however, limit what is played back via the website etc. in previews.

Hi Mark,

 

No I do not but I will capture it next time I see it. I also don't know what exactly what was on those specific files either. It is part of the keyboard part in the song, but I will need to hear back from my friend to see if he notices something missing when he listens to the song.

    If it was uploading as part of a package make sure there are no "odd" characters in as that could cause an issue.
