socket.timeout issue even with session upload
Hello I have quite a large amount of files on my machine and I have given up using the dropbox app as it just will not sync.
I am using the dropbox python sdk but I am having socket.timeout issues....

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the additional information! To try to isolate whether this is a general networking issue, or if this is related to the Python environment/code in particular, can you try making an upload call outside of Python?
You can use the API v2 Explorer to make a call directly, or to get the curl code for running it bash. Let me know what the result is.
this is the package I am using

Thanks for trying that. That output indicates the upload was succesful, so the issue does seem to be specific to your Python environment/code. We'll take a closer look at the code you shared.

bramburn Please try replacing this line:
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(ACCESS_TOKEN)
with this instead:
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(ACCESS_TOKEN, timeout=None)
Then try again and let me know if that does or doesn't help.
Also, you don't need those time.sleep calls, so you can remove those.
thank you that worked!
