Problem Description

When uploading/syncing a folder from my device the upload suddenly halts and gives a bunch of errors. extracted content is not available for this file. Please ensure that the file is processed before proceeding. When then manually uploading the file it crashed at, the file is uploaded just fine. We believe this may be caused by the levels of nesting in the folder (5 levels deep).

Desired Solution you'd like

A better error handling when this happens as the issue is clearly not with the file but somewhere else (presumably nested folders).

Alternatives Considered

Let nested files be uploaded for deeper nesting or clearly state there can only be x many levels in the folder you're uploading

Additional Context

No response

A well presented bug report goes a long way.

Don't think it's a bug though. I believe the behavior is not documented very clearly
