Slow sync on Mac M1

Slow sync on Mac M1

Hi,

Switched to a MacBook with the M1 (Big Sur 11.4, Dropbox V126.4.4618).  I am experiencing extremely slow sync rates. 

I've tried:

 - Rebooting the machine

 - Rebooting the router

 - un/reinstalling dropbox

Still taking days to sync file - basically it's in a perpetual sync mode.  It no longer shows how many files, or estimated time - just "Syncing"

WiFi transfer rates at 5 - 8.5kbs

I can't track down the offending files.  I'll find a folder with the blue sync symbol, but no file in the folder has the symbol.

I'm open to advice!

JK
