Is this normal?
It all depends upon your internet connection. 10gb is a huge amount of data.
The message should appear on that bottom box that its finished uploading. Have you checked the folder/file on another device or tab to see if it has uploaded by going to http://www.dropbox.com/home ?

Hi lpvmc and welcome to the Dropbox Community. I am glad to see that the upload of your file has finished and your issue has been resolved.
I’m Theresa (aka your Dropbox Community Manager 😺), and you’ll probably catch me around here quite a bit 👩💻 I love connecting with our awesome members and hearing how Dropbox fits into your world 💙.
If you're up for sharing, I’d love to know how you use Dropbox 💡. Whether it’s organising projects, saving memories, or something completely unique. You might just spark some helpful tips for others or even inspire fresh ideas for our team 🤗.
Looking forward to hearing from you,

Hi T,
My main purpose is: organise all the stuff on my PC and then upload it to Dropbox, so I have it available all the time on my PC, i-Phone and i-Pad.
Next, if possible, I would like to empty my PC's hard drive as much as possible so I have more space available for all of my projects.
As you may have noticed I am trying to get my head around Dropbox. It's not easy for me since a lot of the information I read or watch on videos is accepted as self-evident (hope this makes sense to you). So, if you have tips or even advice, please let me know.
Kindest regards, Leo.

Hi Leo lpvmc ,
It sounds like you have a great plan in place to organise your PC and make the most of Dropbox. I recommend joining this Dropbox for Beginners group as there is a constant flow of questions from Dropbox beginners like yourself. There’s an article within the group about spring cleaning your desktop, which provides various tips on freeing up space. It also links to Amy 's amazing article on how to get started with selective sync, which could be really helpful for your needs.
If you have any specific questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
T 😺 (Dropbox Community Manager) Hi T,
Thank you for the great advice. I was looking for that kind of information.
Kr, Leo.
