File size limit with save_url?
I'm using the DropboxClient.SaveUrl method. Is there any file size limit when Dropbox goes to upload the file from the location?
I'm using SaveUrl too to upload a 69 MB file but it is not uploaded to my Dropbox. It works when I'm uploading a smaller file

- There is no error, the file just doesn't get uploaded to my Dropbox. Perhaps its because of the 5 min time out. Anyway, I used the files/upload endpoint instead of /save_url and it works with large files now. But hopefully there is a way to continue using /save_url with large files without the servers timing out. Or perhaps something similar to /upload_session using save_url.

You should be able to use save_url. If you're not getting an error, what is being returned? It should be a job ID that you can check with save_url/check_job_status. Please share the result so we can look into it.
- /save_url/check_job_status returns in_progress. And small files upload perfectly. But again, I think its the 5 minute time out that prevents the file from uploading.
