Uploading bandwidth setting on iphone

How do i increase the bandwith used by dropbox to speed up upload speed on an iphone ?

Hey Topfrog, I am afraid there is no settings to control the bandwidth in the iOS app. Only way to speed up is to connect to a faster wi-fi (or cell) network, and make sure that your iPhone is not in low power mode.

  Hi there, as Elixir said, there isn’t any setting like this on the iOS mobile app.
  
  It’s entirely dependent on your cellular network connection, or WiFi network speeds.
  
  Another possibility, if the camera uploads are slow, is if iCloud library, and optimize storage, is turned on. These slow the upload since it is both uploading to iCloud and Dropbox at the same time, making it much slower.

    Well thanks for the clarification and tip I have closed every app other than Dropbox and I seem to have a small improvment...
