Dropbox still incredibly slow on Verizon Fios

For the last ten years, as described in Really Slow Upload...only Dropbox | The Dropbox Community and https://www.reddit.com/r/dropbox/comments/6n74lu/dropbox_slow_on_fios_gigabit_connection/ Dropbox...

Desktop, currently v239.2.2708, but as I said, this has been consistent for the last decade.

I have contacted support about every 2 years. I have never, ever gotten any better responses than "try reinstalling it" and "have you rebooted your computer".

This is not a me problem. People have been complaining about this here on this forum and reddit for ten years. Anyone at all who is on Fios in the northeast can reproduce this problem. And all it takes to fix it is walk next door to a non-Fios connection, or go through a non-Fios proxy.

    Hey Daniel D.2, thanks for the additional info here.

    I see you mentioned that you're on v239.2.2708 of the Dropbox app. Can you switch to the stable version to see if that helps?

    To do so, you'll first need to turn off the "early releases" option here.

    Then, simply download and run the Dropbox installer from this link and let me know how it goes.
