jmoore23, is the experience consistent if you use a different browser instead or an incognito window?

Hi Nancy, I haven’t tried incognito window at all. I’ve tried three different browsers. It’s all the same i’ve tried doing it from my iPhone and it’s much faster which is strange because it’s on WiFi and the pc is Ethernet

    Hey jmoore23, have you made sure your browsers are all updated, and that they're not using some short of plug-ins that could be interfering with Dropbox?

    Hi Megan yes I’ve tried three different browsers all newest versions , are there settings that would limit uploads just for Dropbox and not google drive , maybe I’ll try to upload some stuff on some free storage and compare and get back to the forum
