Dropbox StaffHi IMightAsWellBashMyHeadIn, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you try switching browsers to see if this helps?
Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.
Keep me updated with any progress!
Hi Jay,
I tried all that.
I've also tried rebooting the pc, rebooting the router. Nothing has helped.
It's still telling me it will take 3 hours+ to upload 1.5Gbs.
This only started after Dropbox updated the web portal.

Hi there IMightAsWellBashMyHeadIn - sorry to jump in here and thanks for the additional information.
May I ask if this happens when uploading a single file or if you're uploading multiple files at once?
Do you get any different results if you do it in smaller batches perhaps?
If you still get stuck at some point during the upload process, please send us a screenshot so that we can have a visual too.
Hey Walter,
I’m only trying to upload a single file. It doesn’t get stuck, freeze or whatever. It’s just veeeeeeery slooooow. I had no issues until Dropbox updated their web interface last week.
There’s another thread with the same issue.Edit: I just uploaded a 11.6Mb file from another device. It took over 3 minutes!
