Ridiculously slow upload speeds both when using the desktop app, and website.
I've tried uploading through the website and using the windows app. In both cases I'm lucky if i get 1/100 of what my actual upload limit is. I'm trying to upload about 4gb worth of files and it's s...
I think I found a solution for myself. I noticed that on my laptop, on the same network as my PC, even if connected via wifi, i was getting faster speeds. Did some googling and I found a network setting that when i adjusted it, improved my network speeds overall.
If you open a command prompt with admin priviledges, run the command
netsh interface tcp dump
is autotuninglevel=disabled? if so try this
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

Could you also give these steps (for Mac) a try?

Hi Lusil, unfortunately I'm still having upload speed issues. Any other troubleshooting I can try on a Mac?
- LusilSorry to hear that, ache75.
Could you also try temporarily closing any third party apps, like security software and antivirus, and try again?
Do you also only get this issue when you're trying to sync files from the web by any chance?Hi Lusil,
I don't have any security software on antivirus on my Mac. Sorry, not sure what you mean by "Do you also only get this issue when you're trying to sync files from the web by any chance?" The issue I'm experiencing is when trying to sync from my desktop to Dropbox (using the desktop app).
We've had the same problem, use Filezilla Pro (Supports DB login) and open up multiple channels for export directly into your Dropbox storage. It's blazing fast! We're superusers with over 30TB of DB storage for video production.
