    Heya Walter,

    Sure thing - thanks for looking into this! I'm just trying to transfer some tiny character files. 400kb between the two of them.

      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://help.dropbox.com/installs/dropbox-lite

        Looks 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.
