Dropbox not uploading/ uploading v slow
I have dropbox installed on multiple devices and they all work fine, except it has suddenly stopped uploading on my windows laptop.
I moved a load of photos off my phone onto dropbox on my laptop l...
I have a 5MB upload hard wired internet. Yet when I upload large files using my desktop application, I'm only getting 10-66kb transfer speeds. Why so slow? My ISP has checked and found nothing wrong with my service. Is Dropbox "throttling back" my upload speed? There are no other devises being used that would reduce band width. Please help!
This might be of some use to the rest of you. I have been battling slow upload at several different dropbox for business customers. Two systems in particular had over 1 million files. Yes that too many but historically it worked in a reasonable fashion. Over the last several months sync stability has been really bad with uploads being the worst.
After much analysis tonight we discovered that Windows Search was fighting against dropbox a lot. We disabled Indexing on the Dropbox directory on both servers; and were instantly able to reach saturation of our outbound Internet connection.
This is a very preliminary finding and needs to be vetted for more hours; but there it is if anyone else wants to test that and see if there is an correlated improvement.
