Dropbox Peering

Hello,

We are downloading our customer's large dropbox account data on Microsoft Azure machines using Dropbix for Business API.

Is there any way we can speed up the dropbox downloads.

I have heard of a technique called Peering.

How can we use it in our solution ?

Thanks,

Gagan

    Your connection speed to Dropbox depends on the routing you get between your ISP and our servers, and may be slower than your ISP's rated speeds. Unfortunately there isn't a way to increase the speed of the connection. Dropbox does not offer a way for API clients to peer with its servers. I'll send this along as a feature request to increase performance, but can't promise if or when that might be done.
