Maximum download and upload speeds

That won't do you any good. There are so many things that affect speed that you could have two people with an identical setup and still have wildly different speeds. Your computer, your local network, your ISP, the route your traffic takes to get to Dropbox, the Dropbox network and servers, congestion along any part of the route to Dropbox, throttling by your ISP (very common), failures along the route that cause your traffic to take another path, etc.
Simply put, there is no expected speed. You get whatever speed you're capable of given all the factors above, and many others.

im on win10 on all my machines at this point. just checked again, 13kbps. leaves a whole lotta meat on the bone considering i can run a speedtest right now and get like 960mbit up :(
like most with this type of connection, upload was my entire motive for changing from cable to fiber. shame it falls short in areas like this for whatever reason.

Hey! I also had the same issue with dropbox and just a few days back they solved my problem. Use the link below and download this version.
But before installing this disconnect your dropbox connection and then uninstall it. Then restart your pc and install the newer version using this link
