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.

        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.
