Suddenly slow upload speeds

As of today, I am getting incredibly slow upload speeds. It is currently maxing out at about 50kb/s and most of the time it is lower. I typically get 5+mb/s.

 

Nothing on my end has changed and it was working fine just a few days ago. I’ve already seen multiple help threads talking about bandwidth limits but I have my account set to unlimited. Problem is consistent whether I use the desktop app or web browser.

 

Any suggestions? Most of the other threads I can find are from a year or more ago and don’t end in conclusive fixes.

    Hey Lordnine, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Could you reboot your computer and internet router and let us know if it helped improve matters at all?

     

    If not, could you clarify your device's OS version and the version of the desktop app you're using there?

     

    Any additional information is more than welcome!

      I have tried rebooting both computer and router but no success. I tried uploading a file to my Google drive and it took about 15 seconds. Dropbox is telling me the same file will take about 40 hours to upload.

      The App is 184.4.6543. My OS is Windows 11 Home.

        I see, thanks for the additional information Lordnine 

         

        Could you update to the latest version of the app from this page directly and let me know how it goes?
