Hi ITMichael, welcome to our Community! 

 

1.5-1.8TB is a lot of content indeed. How long has this been happening for?

 

Keep in mind that Dropbox doesn't set caps on the sync, but syncing is a complex process, it's not just a transfer of the files.

 

During syncing, files are divided into components, compressed, transferred, encrypted and then stored in our servers, so that's why syncing might appear to be a bit slower, compared to your internet speed.

 

Speaking of which, can you clarify your provider's speed? 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
