Any ideas why my uploads are stalling?
I have been uploading pictures and videos from the website for weeks with no problem. However, I checked the status of my recent upload and it has not moved in 12 hours.
I have 3.5% used of 1026GB...
- It wont pick up I'm afraid and sounds as if it has stalled.
I strongly suggest installing Dropbox on the iMac, putting everything inside the 'Dropbox' folder and letting it sync to the other machine normally.

I have to upload several folders of photographs every day. Unfortunately this takes way too long.
Here's what I have to do when trying to upload folders, usually with 10 to 50 photos of about 600 KB each. At some point it tells me I have a static number of minutes left and a static number of files to go. It's stalled at that point with an unchanging number of minures and number of files left. The wheels go 'round and 'round, but nothing is happening.
My work around at that point is to see which ones didn't go, then close the page, open another, then re-drag the remaining ones over. Sometimes this happens repeatedly. By the way, the files seem to load from the bottom up.
This adds hours to my already 12 hour work day. Can't dropbox just work like it's s'posed to?
