I have noticed that my computer runs slow while performing multiple tasks whereas the speed of my sibling remains unaffected during multitasking. Could it be my hard drive? how can I test my hard drive speed?

I am experiencing the super slow upload speed via Dropbox desktop App ( v 120.4.4598 ) and I am running Windows 7. It used to be good and only recently noticed super slow upload speed. Funny thing is, upload via chrome browser works and utilizes my bandwidth to the max which is great. I have tried reinstalling the app, playing around with settings, rebooting router and modem, speed tests, tried that fix by merk. Also have tried installing Dropbox onto a laptop (win7) and get the same upload speed around 250KB/s. It seems like there is hard limit on the upload speed set by Dropbox.
I have wasted too much time on this. It is not my internet, as upload speeds are great to Google Drive and other speedtests, even the dropbox browser upload is fast.

Can you check one thing for me? This particular version of the Windows OS (Windows 7) needs the security update KB3033929 for the Dropbox desktop app to work properly.
Is it possible that you don't have this update? It might explain this situation.

Dropbox is uploading at about 1/10th of the speed of my upload connection. I ran an Ookla speed test while dropbox was uploading and you can see my results below. The speed test says I have a 9 MBps upload speed and dropbox is uploading at 1 MBps. Any ideas?
The reason could be many things. Let's start with the question, was the Ookla speed test server at the same distance as Dropbox's server? The answer to that would be maximum time no as speed test servers are hosted very near to customers in ISP network. They do not give real information like say you have 10Mbps connection, but will you really get 10Mbps once you cross your ISP's network? The answer is NO. No ISP will guarantee that once traffic leaves their network. So thats the connectivity part.
Secondly, it is latency that would be very harsh on data transfer speed. Even if you have 10Gbps connection, you can transfer at very low speeds because of how TCP works (a widely protocol used to transfer data). You can search these terms if you want to understand them in deep: "calculate tcp throughput with latency" or "tcp speed calculator according to delay".
Third, different speeds for different paths. I have seen this in the past many times. In your question, you have not mentioned your actual/bought/committed internet speed. I have seen ISPs who would grant you different speeds based on different destinations. Like, for Google/Youtube, they might have a dedicated connection with them and since they pay for that connection at a almost fixed rate every month, they want to utilise that connection as much as possible. So they provide uncapped/more speeds as compared to the committed speeds. I have seen connections with 10Mbps committed speeds getting 100Mbps on youtube to se videos and on microsoft to download windows/office updates.
If you want to dig deeper into this, we can do that but before that, I would need few more information like whats your committed/bought internet speed, who is your ISP (My experience in networking domain helps me in knowing ISPs behaviour and how their service would be), etc.
Hi @Soonjas, in general, there is no limit to the upload speed, regardless of the OS, if you have the limit removed in the desktop app preferences.
As you're experiencing this, there is a possibility that a proxy, VPN, firewall, or security software issues on those Windows 7 devices could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains.
I was thinking/hoping that it would take much longer for a slower internet connection to get this information compared to fast internet - and then I could then Set(vSpeed to either) "fast" and "slow" internet based upon some testing around this datapoint...but I couldn't get it to work when I changed the internet speed under developer tools --> Network --> Throttling. The numbers surprisingly stayed similar between 3G and fast internet - even with my ClearCollect calls to SharePoint)...

Found this: GitHub - nikiluk/automate-ookla-speedtest: With this PowerShell script you can easily use Ookla Speedtest CLI to measure internet connection performance metrics like download, upload, latency and packet loss natively without relying on a web browser.
You could also use something like broadband quality checker, which would be better if you are trying to show drop outs or high latencies. Setup a free account and let it check your connection for you.
sorry I been hectically busy. I was trying to do settings to speed up my net. As I feel like it has a lot of hiccups. I got confused because xfinity speed test and one from microsoft store showed two different speeds and as I really rely on my net for smooth livestreaming (mainly upload) I changed out my wires and now I login to xfinity and it says can't find modem often. i got a cat7 ethernet cable as well. They helped bring the speeds up a bit. I purchased my cables.
We believe that it's a conflict of interest when Internet service providers operate their own speed tests. A third party opinion is necessary and the provider shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the process. When providers host their own speed tests they eliminate the variables that you're here to test. Namely the Internet route itself. This test is unbiased, it tests and grades all providers on the same criteria. They want you to think your connection is running perfectly... but is it really?
Do you want to research connection speed for Microsoft? TestMy.net's Download Speed Test and Upload Speed Test log connection information to allow users to research real world Internet speed test results. TestMy.net's speed test database stores information on millions of Internet connections. This tool can average connection speed for any Internet provider, country or city in the world.So you can easily average speed test results, compare maximum speeds and research logged results for Microsoft.
Other speed tests, especially tests offered by your Internet provider try to eliminate routing factors. This can make your connection appear faster than it really is. Truthfully, do you want to know how fast your connection is within your providers network or do you want to know how fast it is to the locations where the websites you visit are being hosted? TestMy.net is not a best case scenario connection test and will test your Internet under real world conditions. [read more] [hide text]
This is the first ever time I've used Microsoft Ask a Question, because this is the first ever time I've seen an issue like this and i'm prepared to log the hell of this to help others in the future as I cannot express my frustration.
My laptop is wired in, it goes via one unmanaged gigabit switch down to the Unifi Security Gateway, which authenticates to my ISP via PPPoE.
I have a 1Gb FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) Internet connection with a 110Mb upload and on a typical day I can comfortably get 950Mb Down and 107 Up.
There is no QoS, bandwidth limitations or other impacting configurations set on any of my home infrastructure. 152ee80cbc
