Hey riccardo28, thanks for bringing this to our attention. 

 

Are you referring to downloading files from our website? 

 

Or is the Dropbox desktop app taking a long time to sync files to your computer?

You can see that by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar with your mouse.

 

Keep me posted.
