Syncing 90GB on Windows takes a long time
So my friend has recently started gaming and i needed to transfer him 90gb of files so i put dropbox on my pc and dropped those files in the dropbox folder and it synced over to his but now once he moves it out from the dropbox folder into his pc it takes 5 days ? can anyone help we tried wifi,ethernet, setting the processes priority high and even closing all other tasks down but speed goes to 33mb then back down to around 100kbps

Hey rekz02x, thanks for reaching out to us.
So, if I understand correctly, the 90GB you added to (I'm assuming) a shared folder, are taking a long time to sync to the other user's computer.
Can they check their Dropbox bandwidth settings, to make sure the download speed isn't limited?
Let me know what you find.
No, it’s already on there computer and already synced but they need to move the folder from the dropbox folder to c drive but when ever we move it the speed is slow, everything else is working fine and moving fine it’s only when you move from the dropbox folder

Does copying or cutting/pasting the folder instead of moving it, give you the same behavior?
