Showing download speed

Hello everyone, 

 

Please tell me how to view download speed. I tried to hover on the dropbox icon but it was not shown the download speed. Sorry for my bad English.

 

Many thanks!

    Make sure you're hovering your cursor over the Dropbox icon in your system tray (if you're on Windows) or the menu bar (if you're on a Mac). If you're hovering over an icon on your Desktop, it won't show anything.

      I'm pretty sure that I tried to hover the dropbox icon on the menu bar. It works for upload process however it doesnt work for download process.

        The same popup will show download speed as well.
