Slow upload speeds on Windows 7
I am experiencing the super slow upload speed via Dropbox desktop App ( v 120.4.4598 ) and I am running Windows 7. It used to be good and only recently noticed super slow upload speed. Funny thing is...

Just to let everyone know that the latest Dropbox version has seems to fixed my issue of slow uploads (please refer original post https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-files-folders/Does-Dropbox-limit-the-upload-speed-Very-Slow-uploads/m-p/519825 )
I am now getting great upload speeds via Dropbox desktop App. Now my Dropbox desktop app is version 127.4.4265 on Windows 7. As previously mentioned, this issue seems to be on Windows 7 and had problems with v 120.4.4598 .
In conclusion, and evidence by my testing on various devices, it is the Dropbox app that had restricted the upload speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jay please take note.

Hi Jay, I'm on a Mac and have not installed any antivirus or security software. I don't think I have a proxy, VPN or firewall. I just started using the app vs. my browser and that seems to have sped things up notably. I actually preferred using my browser though so I wish I could continue but I'll just try get used to using the app

EDIT:
My bad. Please disregard my message below. The app is actually working just fine, and my upload speed calculations were wrong (Mb vs MB).

Hello!
I have the exact same problem on Windows 7, with upload speeds at about 1/10th of my actual upload speed. I have version 127.4.4265 of the app, and that alone does not seem to solve it.
Upload speed limits are disabled under preferences and there is no antivirus, VPN or firewall running in my system.
