Hi dwhitelaw, happy Monday!
When we're talking about files of that size, it's always best to use the desktop app and not the website. The app can handle content of all sizes.
However, when uploading through the website, there's a rough estimate of 50GB file size limit, though the larger the file the more problematic it is.
If you have any questions, let me know.

F All files uploaded to Dropbox can't exceed your storage space quota. There is no file size limit for files uploaded through the desktop or mobile apps, and files uploaded to dropbox.com have a maximum file size of 50 GB.
