Uploading large number of photos or files

[hollasue]

I am a photographer and have 10,000's of photos I want to back up to Dropbox.  I have created files and folders and want to upload a large folder, with multiple sub folders, at once.  If I start the upload it suddenly will just upload a 'few' of the subfolders and stop, yet say upload was complete.  To try and upload each subfolder at once would be impossible-I have 1000's of them.

Large quantity file transfers through a web browser (to any site, not just Dropbox) can be problematic, especially when dealing with the quantities you're referring to. Instead, install the Dropbox app on your computer and move the folders into the local Dropbox folder that gets created. Everything in the Dropbox folder will sync to your account automatically.

Hey @Alijan, happy Monday!

Are you having some kind of issue uploading photos to your Dropbox account?

If so, can you give us some info on the issue?
