What's the fastest way to upload many large files to Dropbox?

Hi,

 

What's the fastest way to upload many large files to Dropbox? At the rate it's going, these files are going to take forever to upload.

 

My boss accidentally deleted our Dropbox account, but thankfully I still have all of the files on my work computer and we have created a new account, but have a lot of files that need to be uploaded.

 

Thanks!

    Hey RIselin, thanks for your question!

     

    The fastest and preferred method of uploading files to Dropbox would be our desktop client.

     

    You can read more about it and find a link to download it here.

     

    If you have any questions, let me know!
