Sync

Upload through browser extremely slow since today
In the past month I have uploaded over 900 GB through browser with roughly 20-30 mbits per second. Today the speed crashed down below 200 kb/s which is completely unusable. I have a 100mb/s line and the upload to other sites is working fine at full speed so it's clearly a Dropbox issue.

Dropbox is Changing the file name to UPPERCASE letters
Sometimes filenames in my Dropbox folder(s) are changed to UPPERCASE letters.

I don't think it is the client software either, as I experience…
