Any help on this? We have the same issue. At the office we have great bandwidth. I can regularly download from google drive at fast speeds. Dropbox takes ~10 minutes to download a 60mb file. What's happening to make this so slow?

Nothing on my side. It's intermittent, most of the time it's fine, the download is complete before I find a location to file it. Other times it takes 10 minutes to an hour to download a 30MB file. I can't find any correllation other than it seems to freeze up if I download several items in a row, like it's throttling me.
