Dropbox StaffSorry to jump in here, UnhappyClient, but can you give us some more info on how you uploaded all these folders?
Did you use our website to do so?
How large was the entire upload in size and did the upload appear to finish successfully?
Thanks, Hannah!
If i can recall, i just copied/moved them. It created a "My Dropbox Move" folder It appeared to have everything there until I looked into the folders and found most pictures were not there. There were a lot of loose pictures, but it doesn't seem nearly complete. This, obviously is discouraging,
Also, my apologies for my reaction, but this method of getting answers/solutions is a poor substitute for customer service. It's like a slow motion wack-a-mole.
Would greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

Hey UnhappyClient, thanks for your reply.
The support options you have available, depend on the plan you have, but hopefully, we can get to the bottom of this here.
Can you please clarify how you moved/copied the files?
Did you move this "My Dropbox Move" folder into your local Dropbox folder or did you drag and drop it to the website?
And do you remember how large the upload was? Was it perhaps more than 50 GB?
Thanks, Hannah:
Regrettably, I can't remember the actual steps. The "My Dropbox Move" folder was generated as a result. I don't recall that it was over 50gb, but quite possibly was.
tnx

Hi from me as well, UnhappyClient!
I can see that the files on your screenshot are .gif files. Is it possible that they’re more than 100 MB or 50 megapixels each?
Have you tried to re-download a few of them to your computer and they still appear corrupted?
