Been using dropbox for 10+ years wit...
I might've fixed it.

It has a lot of indexing to do but it is moving quickly, I'll let it run overnight and reassess in the morning.
Thanks for the reply.
Are you certain that you have no other software that could be monitoring the Dropbox folder or app?
No new software has been installed in the last 6 months or so.
Have you contacted your ISP for further assistance on this matter?
Yes, they said if it isn't affecting other apps then contact dropbox. I checked by uploading a 500MB file to Google Drive via browser which took 3 minutes.
I uploaded the same file to dropbox via browser which also took about 3 minutes.
This same file would take hours on dropbox via desktop app.
Also, how many files do you have inside your Dropbox folder at the moment? You should be able to check its Properties, if you need to find out more.
On my desktop there are 235,535 items, most of those are "online only".
I do use selective sync so there is a lot more within dropbox that I do not need access to.
