I think I found a solution for myself. I noticed that on my laptop, on the same network as my PC, even if connected via wifi, i was getting faster speeds. Did some googling and I found a network setting that when i adjusted it, improved my network speeds overall.
If you open a command prompt with admin priviledges, run the command
netsh interface tcp dump

The upload speed of dropbox is very very slow, I've gone thru several posts here that mention about the same but dropbox support always return generic responses implying they're throttled by ISP, firewall settings etc. but thats totally wrong. Below is my internet speed, S3, google drive, one drive, all work very fast when it comes to uploads, I suspect something is wrong from dropbox side and they're not fixing it. I also set the upload limit to do not limit it dropbox preferences, nothing just helps.
