    Yes. I am dragging. I think I fixed the problem. I changed the settings to list in order of dates the photos were captured. It seems to have worked. Thanks everyone for your help!

From your description, it sounds like you're uploading to the Dropbox site, since the Dropbox desktop application doesn't have a failed message. 

 

Have you tried dragging the file into the Dropbox folder on your computer, and not in the web browser?
