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 MikeB1971, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

We appreciate the feedback on the Dropbox desktop application notifications.

 

Please keep us posted with the uploading of the second file, if you experience any similar issues.

Thanks for the comments. In general, when syncing files via the Dropbox desktop application, the smaller files are uploaded first, with the larger files done last, to ensure the most amount of files get uploaded quickly.

    Hi Jay,

    Yes, that definitely makes sense as this would be a monthly whole-disk image that can chug along for 2-3 days while the other files get processed first.

    As said, all fine now, so I'll keep an eye on this the next time the image is done in a month.

    Cheers,

    Ed
