Hi, Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the Dropbox domains?

I don't use VPN, I have set it on Dropbox for firmware, I have turned off virus protection on Windows...
I set the proxy to auto in Dropbox settings, I don't know where the problem is

Hi @wiw21, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Currently, we're not experiencing any issues similar to what you're having. It is likely that something on your machine or network is affecting the traffic to Dropbox.

 

Are you able to download at a normal speed from another network, or using a different device using the same network?

 

This will help me to assist further!
