Hi hndbxaccount. Sorry to hear about this, I will help you upload your files faster! :white_check_mark:

Sounds very basic but always helps.. have you rebooted your computer device? If you haven't please do. I always reboot my router as well to make sure my internet connection is not the problem. 

If you have done both already, please let me know the version of Dropbox you have installed there and if this is your first upload from this device. 

Thank you!
