Dropbox sync hangs - Firmware 6.7.5

Hello sasdotcom,
Are you copying from the NAS to the DropBox Cloud? I'm not sure how you check this that shows it hangs but it could be because of the size of the files.

All files uploaded to your Dropbox must be smaller than your storage quota. For example, if your account has a storage quota of 2 GB, you can upload one 2 GB file or many files that add up to 2 GB. If you are over your storage quota, Dropbox will stop syncing.
Is your storage qouta more than 2GB?

We have the same issue. Files all less than 100MB, trying to upload 15GB but every week or so it just stops according to the Dropbox log.
Is there any know fix for this ?
Many thanks
