#.url There was an error uploading a file
Hi, what is this error #.url about? I get it only in Firefox, in Chrome I don't see any error but I can't rename a very important folder that has many files.

Super User IIThat looks like you are trying to upload a shortcut to the folder and not the actual folder.
Hi Mark, I have read in the documentation that Dropbox accepts shortcut/URL link files, such as .lnk and .url. Can you confirm this is the case and where I can find information about non-permitted files?
The issue with this message is that it is not very informative. I don't have a #.url file, hence I can't pinpoint what is causing this issue. Thanks.

Dropbox would accept .lnk or URL files BUT that would be it - it would only upload that file and not the thing it was pointing to.
Have you searched file *.url files?
Where is it you are going to upload this file? How are you doing it?
I am just dropping files in my laptop Dropbox folders. The desktop app takes care of the sync. For the .lnk files, I understand that they are not going to work anymore. However, the .url files should open external websites without problems.
The issue is that I can't debug what is the problem and/or which file is causing it with the very scarce information displayed in the error message shown in the image of my first post.
