Dropbox Lite - "Can't upload. Please try again later."

Question

Running into the error listed in the topic title. This is a fresh Dropbox Lite install. I've approved the login via email. The app was able to create a folder, but it refuses to upload any files. My storage is not full. I've tried multiple connectivity types (Wifi and cellular). I've restarted the app. No unusual characters are used in the filename. I've tested with a brand new .txt file as well on a different drive; same issue. Doesn't appear to be any status disruptions.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

What exactly is the program you are using to upload? Im not aware of an official Dropbox app called Dropbox Lite. Do you have a link or anything?

It used to be "Dropbox for S Mode", I grabbed it from the Microsoft store:https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfj0pk?hl=en-US&amp;gl=UShttps://help.dropbox.com/installs/dropbox-liteLooks like it was rebranded to Dropbox Lite at some point. I am not in S mode, but I use it on a laptop that has a 4g modem for maximum control over power and data usage.&nbsp;

HI Zheszpar, if you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try uninstalling the app, rebooting the device, and re-installing it to see if this helps?
Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
Are you able to upload files normally via the Dropbox site?
