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 saying its going to take 2+ days because it's uploading at 20kbps. Even comcast is faster then this. I've already set the app…

Hello, It would be nice to have a native virtual drive feature that allows all users in a team to setup a identical drive letter and use the same file paths. We can work around this by using the Windows "Map Network Drive" feature. However, the status icons and the Dropbox right-click menu are not available on the virtual…

I am using the Dropbox desktop app on a Mac. Twice now, I have had files deleted out from under me, literally as I was still working on them in Word.
