I have just purchased 50g of storage and am transfering files to go roaming. My internet speed shows as 860kb/sec on a speed test but I ma only getting a transfer rate to Dropbox of50 -80 kb/sec. That means I will take 19 days to process the files to Dropbox. I will be bback from holiday by then. Does that sound right to you or have I done something wrong to get such dismal upload speeds? I have delimeted both upload and download in settings. Nothing else is running on the line.

I don't think it's a problem with dropbox but your Internet connection. Usually the upload speed of your connection is slower than your download speed, using a site like www.speedtest.net will show you both values and if you can publish them we can have a better idea of what's happening. I would make sense also to take speed tests at different times for comparison and to know if your ISP is overselling the channel and is not delivering the same speed all the time. But if your upload speed is slow there is not much that dropbox can do about it. | |||

Try to turn off the automatic speed limit for uploads, you'll find it in the "Preferences" screen. | |||
