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...

I understand.

In a perfect world, how much bandwidth can Dropbox accept?

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?

      No, unfortunately I don't believe there's any channel or document I can refer you to for a definitive theoretical maximum for this.
