I've begun to experience this recently:
1: Uploads to dropbox are (as of about one week ago) consistently around 0.14 Mbps. This happens through desktop or web interface.
For perspective, that's a 300 baud modem from 1984 kind of speed. It renders me unable to work using dropbox.
2: Speed tests of the line show consistent ~75 Mbps downstream rate / ~20 Mbps upstream rate.
3: If I try uploading the same file(s) to google Drive (or anywhere but dropbox), speeds are as-expected.
4: I have re-installed the dropbox app. Prefs for everything, including Bandwidth, are at default, so please don't suggest it as a solution.
Dropbox is the only destination exhibiting the problem. Any help appreciated!
What kind of tests can I do to narrow things down? Thanks in advance.
(UPDATE EDIT: 9 Nov) It's not a fix, but a good clue: I have seen immediate return to expected upload speeds after connecting through a VPN.
Another user below has also found respite by altering the MTU size in their router configuration. Will update with new findings.
POSSIBLY suspecting a bad hop somewhere along the route between me and dropbox. If it is, then How to remedy?
