Upload

During the past few weeks I've needed to upload several 15GB .rar files. Each time, the upload process gets stuck on 9 minutes or so remaining.

Will camera upload recognize duplicate photos when uploading from iPad and iPhone?

Hi there, let me try to explain at what I am aiming at: Let's say my Macbook has 100GB of free disk space. Now I want to copy a 200GB (photo library for example) folder to my Dropbox.

Nope, In actuality it took 7 hours. 7…
