Any advice for uploading an entire server worth of files to Dropbox?

    Hey Heddie, welcome to our Community! 

     

    I'd suggest that you use our desktop app to achieve that, instead of our website. 

     

    I'm saying that since the website might be slower, and it has a certain limit of content that you can upload. 

     

    If you have installed our app to your device, that means you should have a local Dropbox folder that syncs with your account online. 

     

    When using the app, you can copy any of your content from your server, and then paste it inside your local Dropbox folder. The app will then sync and upload your content to the website. 

     

    However, keep in mind that you'd need enough local and account storage, in order to achieve that. 

     

    If you have any specific questions, let me know!
