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.

Dropbox StaffHey jlackey, let's see what we can find on this!
Can you let me know the version of the Dropbox app installed on your device?
If you hover your mouse over the little Dropbox icon, it should show: xxx.3.xxx or xxx.4.xxx.
If I were you, I'd also try changing the bandwidth to "no limit". Have you tried that?
Keep me posted!
Now it works. Currently at 245 mbps on wireless.
I have another PC on the same connection (hardwired) and it is always fast with DB (up to 700mbps)
