Installing Dropbox Dash during an upload will cancel it

Beware that the Dash beta release that Dropbox is proposing will do a reinstall of the Dropbox app altogether, so it's not just the Dash app that is being installed. When in the middle of a large upload, this will simply cancel the upload so you will need to start it from scratch again.

I wasted about a day of upload time with this. 

Dropbox should at least warn for this.
