Dropbox Community ModeratorHi leezale88, have you changed the bandwidth settings in the Dropbox desktop application?
If you're still experiencing this issue, then there is a possibility that a proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router issues that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains.

Im also having this exact issue. Getting very slow upload speeds via the Desktop app (windows7). It seems to cap the upload speed to around 250Kb/s which is super slow!!! I have 20Mbps upload speed on my internet connection.
However if I use browser to upload, it is getting good speeds.
I have tried all different combininations of bandwith settings to no avail. Please help. Can i revert back to an old dropbox version?
OMG! I have the same issue for weeks. My desktop app is very slow. I tried all the solutions from the internet and nothing works!!! My laptop uploads at full speed. But on my desktop, it's totally useless! I already reinstalled the app a couple of times and they are both using the same connection. What is wrong? This is very stressful.
Laptop: Core i5 8300, 16gb ram, SSD = very fast
Desktop: Ryzen 3900x, 32gb ram, SSD = slow and useless speedInternet: 500mbps fiber
Hi, I'm really struggling with slow upload speeds that have happened all of a sudden. It is exactly like what people in this thread have been describing. Did anyone ever find a resolution to the problem with this? I've been contacting Dropbox for over 3 weeks now regarding this and all I get back is the same 'bot type' response describing the process that happens when files are uploaded.
Any help would be much appreciated!- Jay
