Hi Birgit Roedder, thanks for clarifying!
Have you also tried a different browser, or clearing the cache on your current one? If so, do you notice the same behavior there?

Hi Birgit Roedder, welcome to our Community!
The first thing we need to identify is if you're using our desktop app, or website when uploading content, so feel free to let me know.
Do you simply try to upload content to your Dropbox account, or do you use our File Transfer option? I'm asking, because you mentioned WeTransfer.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

Hi Megan,
thanks for your quick response.
I use the Website and mostly drag&drop, but also tried the File transfer.
Best

many thanks for your ideas.
With Firefox it works. Sorry, I should have tried this before.
Thanks
