You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Maximum download and upload speeds
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 Wha...
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.
Mate I’m very aware of the difference between MBps and Mbps.
My downloads are routinely 80-100MBps on every other service except Dropbox.
If you’re telling me that the max speed of Dropbox uploads is a flat 13.5MBps then it’s wildly unfit for purpose as a business service.

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!
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?
