I have good wifi. I'm uploading digital negative photo files from Lightroom about 50mb in size, to Dropbox. It is really, really slow. Like 1 file every half hour!! Please help

    Sorry to hear about this, _Urbanik_.

     

    You're uploading your files, using the desktop app, right?

     

    Have you checked to see whether the bandwidth used by the Dropbox app is limited?

      Hi Hanna,

       

      Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm using the desktop app. I've unlimited the

      upload speed as you suggested, and have restarted the computer.

       

      It is still deathly slow. I have 136 dng files waiting to sync, its almost doing nothing.

        Hi _Urbanik_, can you clarify the app's current version, along with the syncing status at the moment?
