    hi Lusil

     

    Thank you for your reply. I think I have solved the problem myself. I used another machine that had Windows 10 on it. I installed the Dropbox desktop app there and I linked it to my account. Then I copied the large file over there and tested the speed. It was my max upload speed when syncing. So the problem was that the latest version of dropbox desktop app was not compatible with my version of Windows 7.

     

    If I have any problem again I will definitely open a ticket with the Support team.


    Cheers
