Hi brtmix & invalidation, so you're on the stable version of the app, which is good.

 

As for the files, you can right click on your Dropbox folder, and check there for an approximate number of files. 

 

Is there a possibility that a proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router issues that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?

 

Can you check if this is related to your internet connection or device by trying another device on the same WiFi network, or by using your device on a different network entirely?

I'm at about 130,000 files.

 

How do I check any proxies?

 

The rest should not be an issue.

VPN - No

Firewall - No

security software - No

ISP/Router - working great

 

I tried uploading to the DB app through finder on two other macs over the same wifi and both very uploading even slower (170 kbps).

 

Testing on another network won't be possible today unfortunately.

 

Thanks!
