Hi madz43,

 

Here are a few steps to help resolve the issue:

  1. Check Local Storage: Ensure she has enough local storage on her computer to manage the upload process.
  2. Upload in Batches: Yes, uploading smaller batches can help. It reduces the load on the computer and might bypass the error.
  3. Use Dropbox Website: She can try uploading directly via the Dropbox website instead of the desktop app.
  4. Check Internet Connection: Ensure a stable internet connection to avoid interruptions.

If these steps don’t work, please let me know.

    Hey madz43, thanks for reaching out to us.

     

    Can you please send us a screenshot of the message your team member is getting?

     

    Does the message refer to Dropbox space or perhaps hard drive space?

     

    Let me know and we'll go from there.
