The connection speed any particular client sees to the Dropbox API servers will depend on a number of different factors, such as their network connection/ISP, network conditions and routing, etc. These are not things Dropbox itself can control, and may vary over time.

 

There are some potential optimizations the developer can make to the app's code though. We offer the Performance Guide which covers these, so I recommend your developer review that and implement anything relevant for the app's use case.
