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.
Hi there, my upload speed is also ridiculously slow. I'm on a Mac running Big Sur (11.2.1), hard-wired via ethernet, and using the desktop app. I have Gigabit internet with Xfinity. Ran a speed test and my upload speed is 37 Mbps, yet when I upload files to Dropbox I only get 5-6 Mbps upload speed max. I work with large video files and this is an absolute pain to deal with. I've already restarted the machine and modem many times to no avail. Network bandwidth upload and download rate are set to "Don't limit". Not sure what's causing the issue, but it's quite frustrating.
ache75 You might have issues with your internet connection itself. You said you have gigabit thru xfinity, but your upload speed was 37Mbps? If you have gigabit internet (for both upload and download) your upload speeds should be much faster. Should be at least several hundred mbps.
@merk Unfortunately that's what Xfinity offers in my area for Gigabit. Download speed (from my last speed test) is 940 Mbps, and upload speed is 35 Mbps. That's what they advertise and what I get when I do the speed test. From their page "Gigabit service can also be transmitted over traditional cable wiring, which does not require a fiber-optic line running to your house. Xfinity Gigabit Internet Service, which uses the DOCSIS 3.1 standard, can download data up to 1 Gbps, and upload data at 35 Mbps."

It's not the internet connection. Wish it were. Something else is amiss.
