If there is not enough space on your cache drive for the files you are about to copy in, windows will abort the copy the same as if you were copying to another drive. However, if your cache location is your windows drive then you will start seeing the effects of lack of disk space much sooner. We recommend you copy your data in chunks, let it upload then update the file preference to “do not keep a copy on my computer” to reclaim the space before copying more data in.
