Problems with uploading my iTunes library to Dropbox through the web

I am trying to upload my iTunes library (~38,500 files) to DropBox.  Initial indications were that this would take 24+ hours

After 22 hours, ~37,000 files had been uploaded, but the process froze and then stopped.  There was no error message.

Rather than restart the entire process, can I get DropBox to (identify and then) upload only those 2,500 files that were not previously uploaded?

 

Thanks

    Thanks, Mark.

    That's a pain.  I am saving in the cloud, so using the web

    How did you upload them @DesDekker ? If via the web then no, the system can not work out what has/hasnt been uploaded and you'll need to start from scratch. If using software on computer and you just moved the files in to Dropbox folder, simply restart Dropbox and it'll index and continue where it left off.
