Don't suppose anyone's used Cloud Sync on their Synology NAS to backup to Dropbox? Seems quite a specific combination.
Since switching to Community Fibre and the massive upload speed it seemed like a good idea to take advantage of a cloud backup. Have 2TB on paid Dropbox subscription and 95% was free.
It's so fucking slow tho. By my reckoning 1Gb upload should be ~120MB/s minus a bit for network whatevers. I'm watching the resource monitor on the NAS and it's averaging less than 2MB/s. Seen some suggestion that uploading to Dropbox isn't simply a matter of copying files (and that many small files is slower etc.), but still can't believe it's not faster than this.
Resource monitor on the NAS also shows CPU and RAM use at 20 and 50% respectively, so pretty sure that's not a factor. At least in this state I can leave it running 24/7 without worrying about it affecting anything else.
