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. 

     

    Let us know of any updates!

        Hi, can you please post a screenshot of your internet speed test results -- go to google.com, type in "internet speed test". I'm particularly curious about the upload speeds from your internet, as you might not have a symmetrical connection (100mbps download doesn't always mean that you have 100mbps upload).  

         

        Thanks!
