Hey kmsbs, thanks for getting in touch with us on the Dropbox Community! 
 
As I’d like to help you on the issue you’ve experienced as much as possible, can you clarify whether you’re uploading your file using the web Uploader, your mobile, through your desktop or if you’ve created your own app that’s uploading your files to the Dropbox folder? 
 
Once I have a bit more info, I’ll make sure to send you the most relevant next steps here. Thanks again & I’ll be awaiting your next post on this discussion!
