500 error Request url '/2/files/upload_session/append_v2' method 'POST'
I bought a Dropbox 2 TB subscription to store backups of my site, but I get a 500 error when uploading backups to Dropbox storage. This happens when uploading a 22 GB site in a .gz archive
Here are the problem logs. Can you help with this?

Thanks for following up. Unfortunately in this particular case this doesn't appear to be sufficient for me to investigate. Can you please open a ticket here from the affected account, and also let us know the relevant app name, so we can look into this internally? Thanks and apologies for the bother.
