Hey harjot singh sandhu , since you mentioned that the slow upload speed was apparent on both the devices, is it possible that your Dropbox account has more than 300K files, which would be the soft limit of our app?

      Hey harjot singh sandhu   - sorry to jump in, but I just wanted to mention that if your issue persists you can try restarting your router too.
