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.

Is unbelievable how slow this can be!!!
I have a OneDrive free account, mostly for personal use, and a 3TB Dropbox account hired for my work. Last three months i've been working at home, and I usually send 4GB video files on OneDrive, that upload very fast. We needed storage for backing up this videos, so we decided to get a paid Dropbox, and upgrade my ISP to a 300Mb download/20Mb upload service. Runing Win 10 Build 1903 up to date.
This is the average OneDrive upload speed i get: 1,4 to 1,5 MB/s. This was captured just a minute ago, since i´m currently uploading a video, pausing Dropbox sync in the meantime.
This is my average Dropbox upload speed: 16/18 KB/s, no bandwidth limit, autotuninglevel normal, and 20,2Mb/s on my latest speedtest 2 minutes ago.
Is there anything i must know on how to make this work? Maybe best answer would be to pay OneDrive for the storage instead of Dropbox?

Have you tried the solution on the top of page 1 of this thread?
- JDD15 years agoExplorer | Level 4Issue seems to have randomly gone away for me. Solution at top of page didn’t fix it.
Support is the worst. They take forever to respond and don’t even pay attention to what you tell them. - j2peol5 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Yes sr, my autotuninglevel setting is normal, I took that step before posting here.
