Slow upload speeds, but I know it's not my connection.

I'm getting extremely slow upload/sync speeds. I know it's not my connection as I'm getting 900mps upload. I rely on dropbox for my business and it's causing me to not be able to transfer files by my deadline.

    Set dropbox to don't limit for bandwidth and close any other apps. If still is slow, then go for wired connection.

    Hey MFRuckuss, let's jump right into this!

    Would you mind clarifying if you're using the app, or our website when uploading your content?

    If you're using our app, feel free to clarify the app's current version and the device's OS too. Did you notice when this first started happening?

    Also, do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?

    I'll be waiting for your update!
