Extremely slow uploads using browser
Hey there. I currently use Dropbox for sharing files and upload my files mostly using the desktop app, which uses my full internet connection of 1Gbps, usually easy and no errors.
My main issue: So...

Welcome aboard the forum, @solisoli!
If you’ve received a file request, then it’s only possible to upload files via your web browser, I’m afraid.
Are you having an issue if you break your uploads into smaller chunks?
Also, have you tried uploading via an incognito window instead? Does that seem to help at all?
Finally, please keep in mind that depending on the sender’s plan, you’ll be able to upload a specific size of files each time via file request.
Keep me posted for more updates.

Hey, I haven't tried doing smaller chunks, but the sizes vary in between. These are all photos, so they're around 18-25mb a piece. I also upload videos which are around 600mb to 4gb. All of these have the same speeds, very slow.
Yeah, one of the first things I tried was incognito. Didn't change.
The sender's plan is either business or professional, they receive from different people in the same manner.
