I am using a desktop on-line to upload large files. I have tried this several times and ended up deleting half uploaded files after a day of constant uploading.
i am using Xfinity and I have their increased upload speed.
I am back trying again for the last time. If this doesn't work i am going to Google.
The current estimate is one day left. Nothing else is running.
This is only half of my uploads.
How can I increase the upload speed.
I do not find anywhere on my screen that gives me access to settings.

Hey GoodLady, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you trying to upload the files through our website?
How much data are you trying to upload? Is it more than 50 GB of files?
Keep me posted.

It is 12,00 files 11.1gb.
3 days left.
This is useless to me.
I can copy it to a hard drive and store it o ff site faster than this.

Hi GoodLady, uploading to the site varies depending upon your connection speed.
If you're uploading to your own Dropbox account, you could install the Dropbox desktop application and have the app sync the files to the site, after removing the upload bandwidth limit.
