Still uploading... but also saying the files have uploaded

Hi there,   Update: Dropbox has now decided that the second file is uploaded and the other one is still going. Which is ... OK, but it should really not make stuff up half-way through the process...

Hi Jay,

Many thanks for replying so quickly, speed of support is also a key thing for us cloud customers!

All went well in the end, although I do see the notification box occasionally saying complete for the large file when it was still uploading. I added some more files to upload and these went through first, with the status of the large file switching from "complete" to "uploading" a couple of times.

It's more of a niggle than anything else, since the file did upload OK and networking has generally been rock-solid but maybe something to note if there could be a reason for it? The second smaller file (about 1.4 GB) did not show "complete" at any time.

I should also note that Dropbox is the best cloud service of anything I have tried so far 😉

Cheers,

Ed
