Dropbox uploads are extreamly slow all the sudden

[leezale88]

Just recently  I swapped my hard drive and created a new dropbox sync folder.  Everything transferred over fairly quick and dropbox did its thing.

I then added 300+gb to the sync folder to be uploaded and what usually takes a few hours is now taking over 3 days and my max upload speeds are 450kbs with no fluctuation.  I also noticed that Dropbox updated on my desktop and there is no way to revert to a previous version or stop dropbox from updating.

I have fiber internet and my speeds are solid on my connection end. 800-900mbs up and down.

OMG! I have the same issue for weeks. My desktop app is very slow. I tried all the solutions from the internet and nothing works!!! My laptop uploads at full speed. But on my desktop, it's totally useless! I already reinstalled the app a couple of times and they are both using the same connection. What is wrong? This is very stressful.

Laptop: Core i5 8300, 16gb ram, SSD = very fast
Desktop: Ryzen 3900x, 32gb ram, SSD = slow and useless speed

Internet: 500mbps fiber

Hi, I'm really struggling with slow upload speeds that have happened all of a sudden. It is exactly like what people in this thread have been describing. Did anyone ever find a resolution to the problem with this? I've been contacting Dropbox for over 3 weeks now regarding this and all I get back is the same 'bot type' response describing the process that happens when files are uploaded.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi @John P.115, do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
