    Hi Everybody,

     

    Thanks for your patience while we looked into this. Our engineering team has implemented a change that they believe may solve this issue.

     

    Go ahead and re-attempt any failed uploads and let us know if it works or if you are still receiving the same error message. I will pass this information along to the investigating team.

     

    Regards,
    Ben

    I have not tried it, but I will tomorrow.  Seems strange that after 10 years of DB business account with 3.5tb files saves, suddenly I'm having this issue and so are others.  No issues with OneDrive or Google drive.

    Hi Hannah

    Apologies for the delay. As stated previously, there is no issue on the Windows platform, iit works fine.

    Its just lately on Android that this issue now occurs. The dropbox app does not work on my device as i suspect that the version of Android is ttoo old and an upgrade  is not possible.

     

    Best regards

    Ced

      Hi there blueice, sorry to jump in, but I just wanted to mention that you can find our minimum requirement for Android devices here.

       

      I hope this helps a tad, Ced.

        Same problem here, it's happening to me on Win 7 Ultimate and Win 8.1 machines. I tried Firefox, Chrome, and Edge Browsers. no issues uploading files before on these same machines. The problem seems to be that the memory usage in the browsers slowly jumps to over 2GB in usage during the upload. Once it hits 2.2GB you get the message "there seems to be a  problem with your connection" yadda, upload will resume once connection is restored.

         

        NO, the Dropbox Desktop app is NOT an option for me. NO, I will not use it.

         

        Web uploading was fine before. This needs to be fixed.
