Internal Server Error (status code 500)

Hi,

I use GoodSync for sync my archive and I have a one folder with four 2 GB files. Very often I received an error "Internal Server Error (status code 500)". As my point of view this is not a very big size of file. How can this problem be solved? Thanks in advance!

    As the issue is with GoodSync thats something you need to be asking them - from reading the message/error it sounds like an issue in the software with handling large uploads and keeping the connection open and active.

      Hi,

      I'v received the answer from GoodSync about my issue.

      GoodSync says: This error comes from Dropbox server. Dropbox limits or drops long uploads so that their servers won't be overloaded.

      If this is correct could you advice how can I solve this problem, please.

      Thanks in advance,

      Andrew

        Hey Smapppp, how are you today? 

         

        Would you be able to share a screenshot of the error you receive on your end, so we can have visual too?

         

        Keep me posted!
