I am in the same boat as you, I am trying to move over 100 TB of data from google drive (15 days left). I have tried contacting both Synology and Dropbox with zero help. Dropbox won't support Synology apps and Synology just blames it on your ISP. I tried uploading via the Dropbox desktop app and I still get the same speed. Dropbox doesn't have an answer.

This speed thing is going to pose issues for us so I may have to switch. - I just wish GD didn’t go back on their word with unlimited storage.
