Ridiculously slow upload speeds
I've tried uploading through the website and using the windows app. In both cases I'm lucky if i get 1/100 of what my actual upload limit is. I'm trying to upload about 4gb worth of files and it's s...
I think I found a solution for myself. I noticed that on my laptop, on the same network as my PC, even if connected via wifi, i was getting faster speeds. Did some googling and I found a network setting that when i adjusted it, improved my network speeds overall.
If you open a command prompt with admin priviledges, run the command
netsh interface tcp dump
is autotuninglevel=disabled? if so try this
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
then try uploading or downloading and see if you get better results.
Same issue here - Super slow upload speeds regardless of app or directly through web browser. Been through all the standard steps, including talking to my ISP etc. I'm sure it's on Dropbox's end as I also have a OneDrive account and do not experience this issue. This is unfortunate as I'm planning to move my entire business over to Dropbox as I prefer some of the options better, but this issue could force me to change my mind. It's crazy slow and when collaborating with someone in real time I can't be waiting minutes for a simple change in a small file to sync back up.
take a look at my post at the top of page 2 - it solved the issue for me. Or i guess i should say it improved the issue ;) it's still not nearly as fast as uploading to some other services. But I'm getting anywhere between 100 mbps and 200 mbps which is a lot better then what I was getting before.
I am on a mac running 10.14.6
I have the same problem.
I used to be able to collaborate across Europe with colleauges dropping files in and they would upload / download overnight.
We can no longer do this as the file upload times have increased enormously.
My Upload speed is around 700kb/s.
I have tested the system using online speed testerts and I should be able to achieve upload of around 5MB/s
So Ihave less than 10% of what is available.
I have set Bandwidth to dont limit for both upload and download.
I have installed the latest software and have reset permissions several times.
I cant see any other istructions online for what might be a solution.
Please help so I can get back to work.
Thanks.
