Hey, 2 years ago I made this post: https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101001014/extremely-slow-uploads-using-browser/729224?after=MjUuNHwyLjF8aXwxMHw1MjoxfGludCw3MjkyMzYsNzcwODI0

It is still occurring. Files are very slow when uploading through a browser. I have since moved to a different computer and a different internet provider, using 2gbps up/down. An identical folder in size will take 5 minutes with the file upload software but if you're using a link someone requested an upload it takes 3 hours.

I've since moved my services elsewhere, but other companies I work with still use dropbox and it still the weakest link.

Please find a way to fix it or make a way to upload files through the app for requests.
