brtmix I used Nord; had to kill the desktop app and reload it for it to tunnel properly.

    I've been having the exact same issues, located in Miami on ATT Fiber connection, I can reach 1GBPS up and down with no issues on speedtests, Dropbox downloads are good but uploading via the client or website to Dropbox servers over the last 2-3 months have been terrible.  I am now thinking of switching providers, a VPN solves the issues so this is a routing issue.

     

    I just did a simple test, 300-400kbps upload with no VPN soon as I enabled PIA VPN I get 1GBPS Upload.  Dropbox has been having some routing issues for awhile now.
