Dropbox not uploading/ uploading v slow

[jeanzbeanz]

I have dropbox installed on multiple devices and they all work fine, except it has suddenly stopped uploading on my windows laptop.

I moved a load of photos off my phone onto dropbox on my laptop last week and only a handful have uploaded.  The icon in my tray says it is syncing 405 files and has 36 minutes left.

It's definitely not a problem with my bandwidth and I have checked the settings to make sure that dropbox isn't set to a low upload speed.  

I have tried pausing sync and restarting, I have tried closing dropbox and re-opening.  I have also tried restarting my laptop and it uploaded 5 files then stopped again.

I am a pro user and have only used 50% of my available space.

Can anyone help?

After hard disk swap we tried to resync 104 GB to the new disk. The first 100 GB went within a couple of hours (the first 17000 of 18000 files) the next 3.9 GB took one more day, the last 100 files one more day and now we are watching the last 2 files going on for hours. Speed is around 50 kByte/sec.., looks like a dial up connection (no sounds through) 

Anything you could do to prevent this effect?

I'm uploading a 1.6 GB movie and have selected 'don't limit' for upload speed.  Speedtest reckons I get 6.38 Mbps, so the movie should take less than 5 minutes to upload.  It looks like it will take over 30 minutes. WTF ???
So the question is - who gives the decent service that Dropbox apparently is unwilling to provide?

[Paul P.25]

Yes, have Pro but get no better than 2.3 kB/s upload. I'm paying good money for rubbish. Alternatives anyone?

Iam also getting tired of the SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW upload speeds. 

What am i paying for

Storage

and Snails pace uploads !!!

Painfully slow upload speeds and I have critical files to deliver to make a hard deadline. I'm going to switch service once my year is up. I wish my clients were more ftp interface inclined...

How the do you UNSUBSCRIBE from these messages.

Dropbox is becoming painful in many more ways.

[Phill S.]

Oh... yes .. and it's STILL slow

We use dropbox for our company and it works fine for now with small files.

I've been using it for personal files and it has been ok.  I tried to load go pro video files and it is exceedingly slow and here I am on this forum.  It does not work well so I need a new service.  I don't trust google drive.  What other options are out there?

[Moshe F.]

There's no reason not to trust Google Drive.

Amazon Drive - it's much faster so far for me; uploading files of over 1GB size.
