Sorry, max Upload Size with the DropBox API ist 150MB!

Since the 150 MB is VERY arbitrary can this be changed? How?

if dropbox it change, yes.

Thanks Daniel,
I was not aware that this is caused by the Dropbox API because I though that I sent larger files than 150 MB into the dropbox folder but I may wrong on that.

Is there a chance to
– compress the files first
– split them using something like ‘split –line-bytes=100m foo.tar.gz foo_’
– send them to dropbox

thanks for reacting
Peter

I’m working on a “sync” file by file feature……

Hey Daniel – actually Dropbox’s API does not limit uploads if you use /chunked_upload instead of files_put
see this: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/api#chunked-upload

any chance of you updating the plugin accordingly?!

is alredy implemented in 2.1.15

Excellent!!! Great to hear this – thanks for maintaining an awesome plugin!
