Dropbox upload sync is very slow
Hi, I've been using Dropbox business for years now with my current company and my previous two jobs. I'm trying to archive all my old footage and while I have 1000mbps up and down, my upload on dropb...
What's happening with Dropbox uploads latesly.... I'm on a fiber 40Mbps upload link and all I can get from Dropbox is 600Kbps for uploads. It was fine a week ago but since last Thursday speeds have dropped to unusable levels. This is only happening with Dropbox, we have tested file uploads with our Goggle Drive and it is using the full 40Mbps upload bandwith.
Come on Dropbox sys admins, confess! You're clearly throttling server uploads because of some back-end technical problem aren't you? ☹️

Is that the speed being reported by Dropbox? If so, remember that Dropbox doesn't reports speeds in Kbps or Mbps. They report speeds in KBps or MBps. Your 600 Kbps speed is actually equivalent to 4.8 Mbps, and that it's not just an upload speed. That's the speed for the entire process of hashing, encrypting, uploading and storing the files on the servers. It can't be compared to a straight upload speed.
I know I'm repeating what was posted in my other response, but few people ever consider this when they talk about the speeds they think they're getting.
