Super User IIHow are you trying to upload the files kioskfeddan ? What software or process are you going through?
there are different ways to upload? I didn't realize. anyway, I uploaded through the browser (chrome), do you think I should try downloading the app and upload from there?

Hi kioskfeddan! I hope you’re doing well.
Installing the desktop app on your computer and uploading your files this way, is indeed a good option here.
Other than that, you can try opening another browser on your computer and attempt to upload your files from there, as a test.
Let me know if any of this works for you.
so what you're saying is I'm supposed to be able to upload any file type? a laravel repo contains about 15,000 files but are only about 50MB big

Just about, yes. There are some files that won't sync but they're mostly system files like thumbs.db, desktop.ini, .ds_store and shortcuts, to name a few. Otherwise, Dropbox will sync any file.
