My internet connection is blindingly fast. Why is Dropbox moving at the speed of a crippled slug?

Title says it all. My connection is wired. My UL speed is around 800mbps at this moment.  It's taken **bleep** near a half an hour to upload a measly 2.79gb.  Yeah so WTF

Thanks for your post, Festernaecus.

Can you clarify the current app version of your Dropbox app? 

If you restart your device and attempt to add a small file via the Dropbox app again, is it still taking a long time for it to upload?

Let me know.
