Increase Upload Speed with Dropbox

Anyone who does anything digital or creative uses Dropbox, or some Cloud file sharing service (Box, Google Drive, iCloud ect). So if you do, you will have noticed that it is painfully slow at uploading files. No matter how whizz-bang fast your Google Fibre connection is. This is because Dropbox limits your upload bandwidth usage. Yeah, you heard that right. So how to fix? Really simple, you just go through your Dropbox preferences.

Change the 'Upload Limit' to 'Don't Limit'. All done. I have no idea why it's restricted. But it is. Now Dropbox will work as fast as your internet connection allows. My work is done.
