Uploading To A Dropbox request URL

Uploading To A Dropbox request URL

To All,

I have a large amount of drone based image files, approximately 8K of them.  Each image is roughly 9 to 12 mb in size. There is a directory structure that has to remain intact, which consist of 1 main directory and 5 second level folders that contain images.  Each folder name has anywhere between 35 and 45 characters in the name of the folder, same for file names (If that makes a difference).

3 times now I have attempted to drag and drop the folder into the add files box, it will start the upload, get 7% to 8% and then just sits there.  The little animated box icon continues to animate but it never continues on.  

I did this same exact upload last month, exact same abount of images and same size but all the images that time where inside on folder that I uploaded.

The web interface does seem different this time, as if there was an update to the website.

Any suggestions

Uploading a folder through a browser, especially one with multiple subfolders, is often problematic regardless of the service being used. If you have a folder structure that must remain intact it's best to zip the files ahead of time, preserving the folder structure in the process, and then uploading the zipped file.
