Why is the Dropbox app slow when syncing?
I see there is a common issue when it comes to Download speeds. I just can't believe how frustrating my experience was using Dropbox for big files. The lack of transparency, the lack of compatibility...

The so-called app has no limit under Preferences > Network > Bandwith. I tried with a big number and tried it with 'Don't limit' options, they BOTH suck and had the same results. Anyone reading this, do not bother changing that because it has no effect.
I don't have any other uncommon settings regarding proxies, firewalls, I don't use VPN not security softwares (again, I am MAC user). Hopefully someone at Dropbox can stop blaming people's setups and start giving real solutions.

2 years agoHey Drajen, would you mind clarifying the exact version of the OS you're using, along with the Dropbox version installed on your device?
I'm asking, just to get a clear vision and idea of what we're talking about.
Also, what is the file size of the content we're talking about, and how long did it take for the content to sync?
