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.
Apple logo>System preferences>energy saver>sleep time never

Super User IIIf you're using the Dropbox client, it will handle that on its own. If you're uploading through the Dropbox website, you can't resume an upload.
Not all of us are using dropbox client because we want the info stored on the cloud not our hard drive. When setting up dropbox business it gives you the option to set it up that way, so I am in agreement with Joseph S.30 that if they are giving that as an option for business users to set it up like that then they should make sure that it operates the same way a "client". That being said Kudos for the work around to whom ever came up with that. Another issue is when setting dropbox up this way it doesn't do it in a particular order so you can't really figure out where it left off in a series of 12k files.
