Maximum upload throughput?
Hi everyone,
We are thinking of integrating Dropbox into our environment.
We have a 10gbps internet connection - would Dropbox be able to saturate our line?
Thanks,
Eric From Toronto

Your connection speed to Dropbox depends on a number of factors, such as the routing you get between your ISP and our servers, and may be slower than your ISP's rated speeds. That being the case, unfortunately I can't guarantee any particular performance characteristics.
- I understand.
In a perfect world, how much bandwidth can Dropbox accept? - Greg-DB
Dropbox doesn't intentionally throttle connections, but I don't have any information on how much bandwidth one could theoretically get.
For optimizing uploading via the API, be sure to read the Performance Guide though.
- Cool - thanks for sending that info over!
Is there someone I could ask?
Who would know? - Greg-DB
No, unfortunately I don't believe there's any channel or document I can refer you to for a definitive theoretical maximum for this.
