Dropbox StaffHey there, humb1t, let's jump right into this!
I definitely hear where you're coming from about trying the app, or another browser (but let's keep that last one in the back of our minds).
I'd like to ask the total size of these files, and how many files we're talking about. For instance: Is it 50GB or more, and are we talking about 20 files or 20K.
I also want to point out what you mentioned in the "Actual Behavior" which is that the upload follows through when you try to close the laptop, and try to reconnect your network.
Have you ensured that your connection is fast and reliable? I'm simply asking, because that would be a major factor too. Do you maybe use any specific plugins/extensions when using Firefox that could be interfering with this?
I'd be happy to look into this with you!
just tried uploading 500 jpgs that are 500kb each. it stopped after 44, saying finalizing. my download speed are 30/20 mbps
