android file upload speed?

chlee

Use the file upload from the dropbox api to create an Android app. But upload speed is only about 30 kb. Is there a way to speed it up?

 

 

 

try {
    InputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(localFile);
    if(type == Define.DROPBOX_IDCARD){
return mDbxClient.files().uploadBuilder("/id_card/" + remoteFileName)
                .withMode(WriteMode.OVERWRITE)
                .uploadAndFinish(inputStream);
    }else if(type == Define.DROPBOX_SECRET){
return mDbxClient.files().uploadBuilder("/secret/" + remoteFileName)
                .withMode(WriteMode.OVERWRITE)
                .uploadAndFinish(inputStream);
    }

} catch (DbxException | IOException e) {
mException = e;
}

There isn't a way to increase the speed using the API. Your connection speed to Dropbox depends on the routing you get between your ISP and our servers, and may be slower than your ISP's rated speeds.

Sometimes resetting or retrying your connection gets you a different route and better speeds, but that is outside of our control. Some ISPs also throttle sustained connections so if you see an initial high connection speed followed by lower speeds, that could be the reason.
