Job reached maximum retry attempts
When I try to upload a PDF in gmail, I get error "Job reached maximum retry attempts". How I can fix it?

Hey all,
Quick update on this. We've made some changes on our side that should improve the success rate for saving files to your Dropbox via the Gmail Chrome addin. The underlying cause behind the degradation in performance appears to be caused by an issue with attachment links that Gmail is providing us, so we've reached out to them to try and resolve this fully.
As always, once I have more information to share I'll loop back here with an update!

Appreciate the update. Unfortunately, when I try to upload pdf's now, the extension says they were uploaded succesfully - but the files are "broken" (78kb) and won't open.

Mine seems to be working now. PDF's save and open properly for me.

I've noticed that the Word document is working. Haven't tested PDF, but relieved to see others are confirming that the problem is solved. I'll tryi it later.
Thanks
