    Have you enabled background uploading by any chance?

Appears to work erratically. I'll keep an eye on it and return if I notice it happening again...

    Can we have the answer please? This happens to me all the time. I am uploading video files (complete folder structures) to dropbox. I also lose some files but not others. 

     

    Honestly dropbox is more hassle than its worth. I am about to go to another service

      Hey concretekoori, thanks for nudging us on this thread. 

      I'd be more than happy to help, I'll just need a bit more info on this; for example:

      • Are you referring to not seeing a progress bar when uploading via the mobile app?
      • Are you uploading your video files manually or with camera uploads?
      • Have you tried connecting to cellular data or a different WiFi network?

      Keep me posted!
