Dropbox web keeps dropping uploads after a few minutes saying I have no internet
Hi, was wondering what the problem might be. Everytime I go to upload my file (a 40mb zip file), drop box uploads, but after a few minutes it stops. It shows by the file name 'Paused - no internet'...
Hi Megan ,
I'm not able to switch to another network right now, but may be able to later tonight.
But to do further testing, I just copied a 15 MB PDF into a Dropbox folder through the app on my laptop about 25 minutes ago, and it's still syncing. (Speedtest.net does show a significant slowdown in my upload rate currently to about 0.5 Mbits/sec.) I have Dropbox open on both Chrome and Firefox and am periodically reloading the folder I copied the file to, to confirm that it has not shown up on the server yet. Putting my mouse over the Dropbox icon also shows the sync is still ongoing (along with the Dropbox version):
I can't remember exactly when these problems with Dropbox first started to appear, but it could be as much as 9-12 months ago.

Dropbox StaffThanks for this info, kachunyu! Besides that new file that you’re trying to sync through the desktop app, is it also currently syncing any other files or is it the only one?
Please let me know when (and if) you manage to test this via another network; I’m curious if there will be any kind of difference.
