Solved

Can I resume uploads to the Dropbox site instead of starting over?

Why do I have to restart a file UPLOAD every time have some internet failure connection? Is it possible to re-start the uploading at the point where the connection failed? (ex. restart after 30%, 70%, 99%)

Tks. Roberto

    Hi ralibardi, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    Currently, it isn’t possible to resume uploads to the Dropbox site that have been interrupted. The upload would need to start from scratch again.

     

    Only the Dropbox desktop application allows the resuming of files to sync to the site.

     

    Hope this helps to clarify matters!
