Hello,

 

For what it's worth... Just experienced the same issue with Firefox for large files. Dropbox works well in Firefox for small-medium sized files but for a few large zip files (compressed trading data - 970 MB, 1.5 GB), I am getting the prolonged "Finalizing..." problem. Per this thread, I tried in Chrome and it worked fine.

 

Kind regards,

Matt

Same problem. I shouldn't have to switch browsers. I use Firefox for a reason. Dropbox, please fix this issue.
