The team has finished some further work on this, and is reporting the performance should be back to about previous levels. There is certainly still room left for improvement, and the team has an open feature request to improve performance in general, but I don't have a timeline for if/when further improvements would be implemented.

Hi - I'm trying to upload some files and it's taking FOREVER. I've been at this for a week. Right now - I have 3 files left that total 24 Gigs....and it SAYS that it will take 16 hours (or it says 24 hours, or 3 days, or more.) 

 

At a 3.7 MBPS rate - I should be able to upload 22 Megs per minute - or 2.2 Gigs per hour, I think - which means this should take me 12 hours...now it says 17 hours....am I wrong in this assumption? Thanks.

    drowles It sounds like you're referring to using the Dropbox desktop client. This thread was about using a particular programmatic interface, not the Dropbox desktop client. For help with the desktop client, please post in the "Desktop app issues" forum, or contact support.
