My issue was similar to uploading issues being Paused , previously fixed by Engineers and Ben. The internet was working.
On an Android phone with a data plan and using either the Dropbox App or the Dropbox website my uploads would start , get half way or so through and then report:

Connection.
My cellular internet connection was fine (tested same files uploaded quickly to Facebook for example). The uploads never started up again even though I tried restart and other solutions already suggested for similar situations.
I am in a hotel in Fiji with no wifi connection. The Digicel Sim card has a good data plan and I am in the city by the airport (3 bars on 4G).
I tried turning Off the Wifi on the phone. I thought maybe Wifi is interfering with the cellular data connection. The result with Wifi off was uploading went fast and was reliable again.
Not sure why! It appears to work.
Tried changing default battery settings
