Ridiculously slow upload speeds
I've tried uploading through the website and using the windows app. In both cases I'm lucky if i get 1/100 of what my actual upload limit is. I'm trying to upload about 4gb worth of files and it's s...
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
is autotuninglevel=disabled? if so try this
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
then try uploading or downloading and see if you get better results.
I had the same inssue and after a lot of attemps, contact with support, and a lot of seach, I found a soluction by a user here.
Try this:
1. Open CMD as ADM
2. Type: netsh interface tcp dump
3. Then: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
4. Restart the computer
Let me know if it helps!
That's already set to normal on my computer, that's the standard setting for Windows 10 I believe.
It's nice that you all are trying to help, but I have a feeling that you are not reading what I initially wrote: My upload speed is fine, uploads of the same file onto other systems work within minutes. It is only Dropbox where the upload does not seem to work.
I also am not uploading through an app but natively through a browser.
