    Hey walwar, 
     
    Let me send over some more details and tips to determine the cause!
     
    • For starters, you may have a look here for some steps to adjust your bandwidth locally. 
    • Secondly, you could try force quitting all other applications and see if this helps improving your syncing speed. 
    • Also, let me ask you whether you’re in a work or home environment. 
    • You could use the link below to check your connection speed through your ISP and local network by using the following link: http://www.speedtest.net/
     
    I’ll be following-up here, so please keep me updated in your reply!

What a coincidence, when I post on here Frank suddenly responds to my ticket.

Unfortunately the response was unhelpful as ever... so I have no option now but to look into another cloud storage solution :( 

Can anyone recommend one which is reliable?  I need approx 750MB-1TB.
