Why can't I upload my files?

I signed up for dropbox to backup my project folders, they contain websited. but when I try to uplad it says .css invalid file type or something like that. a website contains a lot of different files so .css is probably not the only type of file that will throw an error. can I fix this?

    How are you trying to upload the files kioskfeddan ? What software or process are you going through?

      there are different ways to upload? I didn't realize. anyway, I uploaded through the browser (chrome), do you think I should try downloading the app and upload from there?

        Hi kioskfeddan! I hope you’re doing well. 

         

        Installing the desktop app on your computer and uploading your files this way, is indeed a good option here. 

         

        Other than that, you can try opening another browser on your computer and attempt to upload your files from there, as a test.

         

        Let me know if any of this works for you.
