Hello
I have 8 large MPG files, roughly around 70G each. I've downloaded Dropbox onto my desktop PC and have been transferring the filesfrom my external drive into the Dropbox folder on my computer. Apparently they do not automatically upload to my shareable Dropbox folder.
When I try to then drag the files onto Dropbox online, it tells me the files are too large. Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on?
I've already paid 100 bucks for the year! Please help.
Whoops, nevermind, found the Preferences command. Thanks again!
Just to clarify, that's not a message from Dropbox, but from your operating system. Windows is telling you that you don't have enough space.
If you need to move your Dropbox folder to a new drive, you can do it from Preferences.
Me , too. Has anyone switched providers. My file is 156mb. I'vee tried 4 times. I need to get this uploaded.
I have repeatedly to load a 1.9gb file and it keeps interupting and getting stuck. I have been trying how for two days and dozens of time. I try drag and drop into the website or do an upload using choose file. Neither method works. Sad. Frustrating. I have been a dropbox user for years and I don't really understand what is happeing.
I have been attempting to upload a Final Cut file (quicktime 6.95 G) and after several successes, (that do show and were of the same size) I cannot upload my final version. It shows as uploaded and takes the obvious lengthy period of time to do so, but when it is 'done' it will not play. Sometimes it shows that it is reading the file in the counter on the bottom of the window) but not showing it. I have attempted uploading from several places (draging onto the dropbox window , uploading it using the upoad file button, exporting it from quicktime to dropbox... all appear to work but nothing plays ....
