I'm setting up a new computer and syncing my dropbox business account to it. The internet connection is great on fiber optic cable (1500MB/s) but my download speeds on dropbox are about 24MB/sec

What is the maximum anyone else is getting? 

How can I improve this?

Just installed a new computer. Boy, getting Dropbox on is taking days!  Speed given by Dropbox itself is around 1,800 KB/sec. On all files, large and small. Hard to believe, but true!

That won't do you any good. There are so many things that affect speed that you could have two people with an identical setup and still have wildly different speeds. Your computer, your local network, your ISP, the route your traffic takes to get to Dropbox, the Dropbox network and servers, congestion along any part of the route to Dropbox, throttling by your ISP (very common), failures along the route that cause your traffic to take another path, etc.

Simply put, there is no expected speed. You get whatever speed you're capable of given all the factors above, and many others.

For what it's worth: on my 10G symmetrical fiber line where my speed tests at speedtest.net come in at about 8000 Mbps / Megabits per second (1000 MBps / MegaBytes per second), my Dropbox download speed hovers around 80 MBps and sometimes goes as high as 150 MBps. This is using less than 10% of my total bandwidth. I do not have a bandwidth cap in my settings. Wondering how I can turn it up!?

Hi trashcaneron, is it possible that you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?
