Hey MFRuckuss, can you check if the Dropbox bandwidth settings have any limits set?
And is it possible that you might have more than 300K files in your Dropbox folder?
No bandwidth limits set. Only 160k files.
File sync is slow again tonight.

Hey MFRuckuss, thanks for all the detailed info!
Could you also send me a screenshot of your Speedtest results?
Can you try to upload a file using our website, and also add it inside your Dropbox folder? Once you do, let me know if the speed remains the same on both of them, or not.
Is the main computer also connected via WiFi, or using a network cable?
If I were you, I'd try quitting all open apps from the system tray, aside from Dropbox, and try adding a file to the Dropbox folder to see if the speed improves.
