Upload of a 7 MB file shall last 2 hours?

Dear all, I'm using Dropbox since years (mostly for PDFs) and for several years had a very (!) slow upload rate (5-7 Mbps), but upload worked. Since a few months now my upload rate is very good (...

    Hi Birgit Roedder, thanks for clarifying! 

     

    Have you also tried a different browser, or clearing the cache on your current one? If so, do you notice the same behavior there?

Hi Megan,

 

many thanks for your ideas.

With Firefox it works. Sorry, I should have tried this before.

 

Thanks

Birgit

    No worries Birgit Roedder!

     

    That means this is a browser specific thing, so it'd help to check if there's any plug-ins or settings in your browser, that slows things down. 

     

    Thank you!

      I really don't want to check settings or else.

      But love the solution to just use another browser. That helps.

      Best
