With any other cloud storage service I could simply download the whole folder at once or use something like rclone to download the items at my own pace. What's causing this sluggish speed then? I have a total of around 1 TB to download, with this pace it's going to take a year.I have had a folder shared with me containing a few TB of files, about 1GB each. I don't recall having this problem when I had Dropbox location on internal drive, on the same PC. This external drive is no speed demon, but surely it can handle 20 MB/s easily. The actual files in my Dropbox folder are being saved with 300 B/s. None of those are saved with speed greater than 0.3 MB/s. On Disk tab it shows that Dropbox process is mostly writing to: Normally this PC has no problem to download files with 10 MB/s, so there is no issue with my connection.ĭropbox process is certainly not idle, it's working its tail off, using 40% of CPU and over 1 GB of RAM. I'm checking it in Windows Resource Monitor and it appears to use almost no network, it's going merely up to 1-5 kB/s Send speed and 500 B/s Receive speed. I've installed Dropbox and set its location at the external drive hoping it would download everything I have in the cloud.ĭropbox app has been running for over a day and it seems to have generated whole directory structure (~400 000 folders), but almost no data was downloaded yet. It's connected to a secondary idle PC via USB. I have an external HDD which I wanted to utilize as Dropbox backup.
