    Hey walwar, 
     
    Let me send over some more details and tips to determine the cause!
     
    • For starters, you may have a look here for some steps to adjust your bandwidth locally. 
    • Secondly, you could try force quitting all other applications and see if this helps improving your syncing speed. 
    • Also, let me ask you whether you’re in a work or home environment. 
    • You could use the link below to check your connection speed through your ISP and local network by using the following link: http://www.speedtest.net/
     
    I’ll be following-up here, so please keep me updated in your reply!

I am having the exact same problem as others. I tried from both 100Mbps and 1Gbps with zero success and also tried to upload from both Mac and Linux but with the same results. It is PAINFULLY SLOW.

Also tried both Web upload and the App unfortunately same results and no I am not using wifi. If I don't see results I am will also leave just like others, this is not how to run a business. VERY disappointed paying customer.
