Sync speed is slow - Synology NAS Cloud Sync

Sync speed is slow - Synology NAS Cloud Sync

Recently upgraded to Dropbox Pro 1TB, currently syncing my NAS (650 GB of data). Upload speed never comes above appr. 250kB/s, so first sync will take almost 2 mths.

Upload speed in both Windows app and in Synology app all set to unlimited.

How can I remove Dropbox's speed limit? Very frustrating!

Using Synology Cloud Sync on DSM 5.2.

I have the same problem. I bought 2 Synology devices. One for work and one for home. The one at home synced about 1TB in less than 1 week, but the one at work has the same symptoms as Jonathan. It updates in bursts. 30 or so files in the space of about a few seconds, then nothing for hours. The slowness doesn't seem to be related to download speeds, but due to the fact that nothing is being downloaded for long periods of time.

You can try to set the number of connections higher. I think DSM defaulted to 3. I have increased it to the max of 10 and it helps to increase (decrease?) the total sync time.
