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:

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.

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?
