# Is there a way to increase the up/down speed

At the apple facility i work at, we have a 2 gigabyte down/ up but dropbox seems to max out at 20mb/s up or  down. Any solutions?

I agree with all the comments below. I would look at increasing your internet speed with your internet provider.

When uploading to Dropbox, the application automatically limits itself to 75 percent of your maximum upload speed. This prevents any Web browsing or other Internet-related activities from slowing to a crawl while your upload is in progress.   Also, each file that you upload is hashed, compressed, then transferred, encrypted.  In regards to the size of the file, compression can sometimes be "iffy" in my experience.  SharePoint has some features that Drop Box doesn't but this comes at a price.
