That doesnt mean it isnt being throttled. It also doesnt mean that the files are large enough as I said to speed things up.
-
It'll get faster when it moves on to larger files (4mb+) as below that each file needs individually hash checking and Dropbox uploads in 4mb blocks. It is also dependent upon your own ISP speed (and possibly any throttling from them).
-
Sort of. You can create empty folders on your machine and selective sync off, or, you can upload in batches and have an already created Selective Sync folder which once the files have uploaded you use the web interface to move the folder in to the un-sync'd one. That then deletes it locally.

Via Selective Sync as I linked to earlier on (www.dropbox.com/help/175). I'm also on a Mac and have everything I 'need' syncing to it without issue. The rest I have sync'd to Dropbox but not on my machine. For example I have archived data from previous years accounts/classes taught (I'm a teacher) as well as all the ISO's…

The issue is that, unfortunately, Dropbox probably isnt suitable for your needs in that case Crotonmark. Dropbox isnt designed to be a cloud only solution, it is a syncing tool. It is supposed to (by design) have everything locally on your hard drive. So, you can use the 1TB of space - you just cant have it all on your…

Have you had a look at Selective Sync? www.dropbox.com/help/175

You dont have to, no, but if you have a poor internet connection it is a suitable work around

You can press 'add to my Dropbox' if you have enough quota. If you dont then it may give an error, but, I'm not 100% sure now. If not I'm afraid you may struggle if your ISP is flaky - the issue is (sadly) all to do with how well the ISP can handle large files.

Download and install Dropbox on your machine to let it down that way - it downloads in 4mb chunks then rather than in one big go. www.dropbox.com/install

Yes it does Perko. Remember that it is not just storage of files that costs - but also accessing them and bandwidth as a minimum. This is forgetting the staff to develop the software and systems to support people.

Hiker - you wont be asked to update your password on any connected device as they work on secure tokens not passwords.

It doesnt, not as such. Rich's post remains the same. If you upload via the website then you cannot close that page. If you upload via the desktop icon on your computer you can as you are moving the files to your local hard drive first. As I assume you are NOT moving to your local hard drive and using the website option…

The only two places (and ways to share) are shared folders (www.dropbox.com/share) or shared links (www.dropbox.com/links). So everything you share from your account will be at one of those two places. Shared FOLDERS require a person to have a Dropbox account (regardless if you share read only or not) and use up quota on…
