Why are my upload speeds very slow now?
I've been using dropbox for over 7 years and was gifted a bunch of space by my cousin who works at dropbox (but I technically still have the basic plan). I've never really encountered any upload issues until about a week ago - I have really solid upload speeds but just the other day they slowed down exponentionally. it now takes like an hour to upload something that would normally take 20-30 seconds. I've tried switching networks but am having the same exact issue. Is dropbox throttling my speeds because I have the basic plan?? This is extremely frustrating as I do freelance work and need to be able to upload projects for my clients but can't do it in a timely manner.

Hi bam mcgregor, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Currently, we're not experiencing any issues when it comes to upload speeds to the Dropbox servers.
Are you uploading files via the Dropbox site directly, or by moving files into the Dropbox folder on your computer?
This will help me to assist further!
