Dropbox slow in download and upload
I've been using dropbox for a long time and I have always used it to sync my .pst outlook file between computers. The .pst file is 2.6GB and syncing the changes usually takes about 1 to 3 minutes.

After trying all the suggestions here and via email support I haven't been able to fix this issue. However today I decided to clean up the .pst file which has a 2.7GB filesize. After that I used the built in compress function from Microsoft Outlook. I stopped compressing the file just to check it's effect on the upload speed, it was reduced to 2.3GB already.
My Dropbox upload speed is now at an instant 3000kb/s instead of the 3kb/s.
Could it be there is some sort of filesize limitation?
This solved my problem, I hope it will help somebody in the future.
