Hey psiboxer, sorry to jump in, but does the same behavior persist on other browsers too?
Also, how many files are you trying to upload in one go?

I'm trying to upload a Photos Library from my Mac to Dropbox to save space. However, it seems Dropbox is pretty particular about what it's willing to store. When I say skip the incompatible files, it starts uploading ~7500 files instead of the one photo library. Granted, it's 16GB, but that's exactly why I need to put it in the cloud to save space.
