socket.timeout issue even with session upload
Hello I have quite a large amount of files on my machine and I have given up using the dropbox app as it just will not sync.
I am using the dropbox python sdk but I am having socket.timeout issues....
Here is the error. I've tried it on several machine and even on my Mac at different locations (coffee shop, client's office and the home office) i still get the socket issue
