Uploading multiple folders and images
I have a project with about 40 folders containing a total of about 65gbs of images. When I drag any of the folder over to upload I get "can't upload empty file or folder" message. I can upload the content in each folder individually but that will take a very long time of supervision to do. I have download the project onto my desktop and was hoping to just drag it over and upload it.

You won't be able to upload a folder of that size through the Dropbox website. Instead, install the Dropbox application on your computer so your files can sync, then move the folder into the local Dropbox folder. Dropbox will index and then upload the files to your account.
