Website interface extremely slow
Hello,
The Dropbox website interface is extremely slow to navigate, page queries are taking 3-5 seconds per request, sometimes longer.
The interface has always been rather snappy and quite fast.
Any ideas why it is now slow?
Thank you.
Regards,
Bryce

Why is the web interface so slow?! I have contacted support 3 times now and received no response.

Now its Nov 2015 and it takes up to 20 seconds to load the home page. Started about 3 weeks ago, used to take at most 5 seconds before.

Agreed! It's making the web interface unusable really. It just took about 20 seconds to delete an empty folder.
I was hoping to organise my Dropbox in quiet spells from work but will have to wait until I can do this from home via my desktop synced laptop. I am also finding it difficult to see what's what tbh as there is no way of changing the web interface view to magnify the thumbnails short of using CTRL + to magnify the browser view.

I've noticed this too in the past several days. Loading the list of available folders takes forever!

20 Seconds is an understatement. I tried logging in a moment ago and it took 45 seconds before the files show up !!!! Its utter disgrace !
Any Dropbox team members care to respond to this thread???

I've been having this problem for ages, now i'm trying to move my pictures around and it's almost unusable. As far as i can the fact it take several minutes to move 100 photo's into a new folder seems to summarise what drop box has become, slow, frustrating and not worth the premium.
Although it's a pain in the ass i'm gonna consolidate my files and move to google drive... A real shame..

I'm currently having the same issue, but I've been waiting like 25-20 minutes. I'll refresh, but nothing helps. Other people in my office are also having trouble with Dropbox, so it's not just me and my laptop. Last week the website was working fine for me, now I can't even get a page to open and fully load.
