Hello Hannah, it has changed, it has increased slightly, so hoping that it doesn't need a reinstall.

Hey CSavage​!

Are you able to adjust your bandwidth settings through the app's preferences under the Bandwidth or Network tab, to adjust it to "No limit"? 

Here are the steps if you need to force sync a folder. However, I'd also suggest an uninstall if the number of files on your syncing status doesn't improve.
