Hello, jjfraulynn...
Thank you for clarifying.
Are you currently just using Dropbox's web interface? You should login to your Dropbox account to verify that your video didn't upload (look here).
Listed below for your convenience are a few tips regarding installing the Desktop Client in case I'm not around when you come back. It's much more reliable for uploading large files.
I recommend that you try the newest stable build (offline installer) vs any beta versions that are available (v48.3.57). After installing it, please restart your computer. Be certain that you use the same Dropbox login credentials when you sign-in to the Desktop Client.
Afterwards, any Folder/Files that are stored in your Dropbox account will download (sync) to your computer's hard drive (located inside the Dropbox Folder).
Of course any of the Folders/Files located on your C-drive that you MOVE into your Dropbox Folder will be uploaded to your Dropbox account (uploading is a time-consuming process).
