    Hey walwar, 
     
    Let me send over some more details and tips to determine the cause!
     
    • For starters, you may have a look here for some steps to adjust your bandwidth locally. 
    • Secondly, you could try force quitting all other applications and see if this helps improving your syncing speed. 
    • Also, let me ask you whether you’re in a work or home environment. 
    • You could use the link below to check your connection speed through your ISP and local network by using the following link: http://www.speedtest.net/
     
    I’ll be following-up here, so please keep me updated in your reply!

Hello, 

I'm unable to update my initial post on here and nobody is replying to my ticket #5997163.

This issue has been ongoing for weeks now and I am absolutely sick of it.

Can someone please help or else I have no choice but to use a different cloud storage - I urgently need to be able to save my clients' photographs securely!

    Thanks for your reply; however I am not impressed with the lack of response to the ticket.  It's not acceptable to treat paying customers like this and expect them to carry on paying!

    Please also pass on that I have been able to upload a large video file to dropbox by using the web uploader.  It is clearly just a problem with the desktop app that's causing issues.

    Hi, I'm getting no response to my ticket.  Is there a number I can call?

    If it wasn't for the fact that I can't get google drive to work on my phone I would have switched weeks ago...

    I am a Very unhappy Pro customer.

      What a coincidence, when I post on here Frank suddenly responds to my ticket.

      Unfortunately the response was unhelpful as ever... so I have no option now but to look into another cloud storage solution :( 

      Can anyone recommend one which is reliable?  I need approx 750MB-1TB.
