Uploads are painfully slow today both on the Dropbox website and the desktop app.

Question or Issue
All uploads are super slow today, I have tried Chrome as usual, Safari, and the Dropbox App. What should be a 15 minute upload is taking 2-3 hours CRAWLING at under 1M. Speedtest and wetransfer behave normally, maxing out my connection. Dropbox is operating at DIAL-UP speeds! I am paying for Dropbox and expect more than 90's era upload speeds. Please Fix ASAP!

Welcome back to the Community, risottto.
Can you clarify the total size of files you’re trying to upload to Dropbox at once?
Are you having this issue even when trying to add a very small file, as well?
As an extra step, you can also switch to the stable app version of the Dropbox app (instead of your current beta one/234.3.5540). To do this, please disable early releases via your General tab here, and then download the latest app version from this link.
Let me know what you find, and we’ll go from there.
Seems to back to normal now!

Awesome! Feel free to nudge me, in case something else comes up.
