socket.timeout: The write operation timed out
Hi, I am trying to uload a single file based on the example code from here: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-python/blob/master/example/back-up-and-restore/backup-and-restore-example.py ...
Thanks! The single files_upload method used in that sample is only meant for files up to 150 MB in size. That isn't necessarily a strict limit though, so files larger than that may or may not fail, and it may be inconsistent across different machines/network connections. For large files, you'll need to switch to upload sessions.
The file is 250-300MB. As mentioned, it worked on my Mac on which I tested the script first with the same file. The datapath is identical and local firewall on the windows server is switched off

Tried with a smaller file and it worked.
With that error messages it never occured to me that filsize might be the issue.
Many thanks for your support!
