Extremely slow uploads using browser

Hey there. I currently use Dropbox for sharing files and upload my files mostly using the desktop app, which uses my full internet connection of 1Gbps, usually easy and no errors. My main issue: So...

Hey from me too skovfx!

 

Does this happen on a specific browser, or multiple ones? 

 

I can kinda justify the time if we're talking about a folder approximately 130GB, but when it comes to smaller files, that's a bit odd. 

 

Also, you mentioned that this happens when using a File Transfer. Do you notice the same behavior when uploading content to your account, using the web?

Update on my side, since I posted here asking for help I've bought a new computer and the problem continues. Usually takes 10-15x times longer to upload something to dropbox than other services. My connection is 1gbps up/down. I've tried the following browsers: Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Opera.
