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!
＠Bennett,
Did you perhaps upload via the browser? Because that has generally been slower than through the desktop app. Also, I have used Dropbox for 2.5 years now (albeit only upgraded to the pro version recently), and I have at not one time had sync issues or bandwidth issues, so the argument of intermittent performance does not apply to me either.
I still believe that such issues you are describing in your latter paragraph are not originating from Dropbox's servers, it makes very little sense assuming such when there are many people who never faced issues over years (!) and at any time of day or night from various places in the world. I have used dropbox when I lived in the States, in Japan, and in Hong Kong. Never had performance issues.
Anyway, I am not out here to deny issues some faced, I am out here to give a counter example because unfortunately rarely threads exist in which a service or company is praised. For me not a single other competitor comes even close to the sync accuracy and speeds dropbox offers (to me). I hope those with issues can figure out the problem.
