I had been searching several times for any information specific to this problem. At first I was only finding all the typical suggestions from the past. Then when I searched again I found your post which matched the problem I was having.
We have Fision Hotwire fiber ISP. Computers are behind a router. It is easy to change the MTU with the router.
Definitely only a temporary workaround. So far not seeing other problems by changing MTU TO 1428.
I don't think the problem is actually with Dropbox. It depends on the ISP and the path the packets take to get to Dropbox. I initially tested with Comcast connection and no problems.
Test your connection with file.io upload. It was having the same problem.

Now here I was thinking I was the only one with dreadful upload speeds. For what it's worth I'm getting about 9Mb/minute.
I've only had this problem since Dropbox updated their web interface.
