Why is Dropbox Browser so slow?

[LP_DB]

I use the browser version of Dropbox exclusively, and am baffled as to why the speeds are so painfully slow. 

We have gigabit internet at our studio, and while very other browser-based activity, download or upload can utilise the full bandwidth (commonly seeing 80MBp/s down and upload - on wetransfer for example). Dropbox, however, will typically never go beyond 6MBp/s either way. And opening new browser windows for each file upload is tedious. 

We're paying for a business service here, and I dont see why the featurset of the browser version should be so neutered. 

If there's some sort of setting that's been overlooked I'd love to know.

Thanks

So this sounds like it is by design, in which case we should have the ability to allow it to use all the bandwidth while we get something done. I appreciate the attempt at keeping overall experience good, but then (1) say you are doing so and (2) allow the defeat of this feature, at least within limits.  I would gladly tick a "please use all my bandwidth" box overnight to download or upload some more massive data sets.
