We have an external drive with nearly 3 TB of videos, each varies from 5 MB to multiple GB. We have been trying to upload them to dropbox through dropbox.com for days. Each file takes at least an hour to upload. Is there a better way to get this much data into our dropbox?
Hi @CarlyKelley, I hope you're doing well!
When you're working with files of that size, and any other bigger type of files, the best thing you can do is use our desktop app.
The app handles bigger files better than our website does, so I'd suggest you try this.
If you have any questions, let me know!
