How do i resume an interrupted upload?
if i upload large files to my dropbox account and my laptop goes to sleep the upload is interrupted. how do i resume the upload without beginning the process again?
I think I found a work around
click the # of files left hyper link
cancel the download of the current interupted file.
The next file in line should begin downloading at that point.
Make a note of the missed file to upload at a later time
and change your settings so the cpu doest go to sleep.

Thanks for finding a sollution! But what is the hyperlink? And where is it?
This is a sample image of what you see when you receive that error.
You would just need to click on the "X's" on the files that did not upload properly (Files in the "pink bands" that say "Upload Error") and that will reactivate the rest of the uploads.
You will have to take note of the names of these files that have the failed uploads and that you are deleting so you can upload them again after the current uploads are done.
Hope this explains it better!
Ugh! I was so happy to find this work-around but it isn't working for me. The next file loads half way and then stops. So I deleted that one and same happens to the next one.

Unfortunately the website isnt designed to resume interrupted downloads.
It may be worth, however, trying a different browser and seeing if that helps?
