    Upload it using the desktop software:

    www.dropbox.com/downloading

    Its much more reliable than the website. It will try and download everything to your machine locally so instead of doing a standard install use the Advanced route and use Selective Sync

HI Jay,

 

Thanks for the repsonse.

 

I've tried both of these, and still no luck (see attached image).

 

We have footage we need to get to a clinet.

 

Any other thoughts?

      Hey Krys1, if you place the file inside your Dropbox folder, it should sync online, regardless of the filesize. Are you getting any error messages when you’re placing the file inside Dropbox on your desktop by any chance?
