    Hi there,

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    If you are encountering problems downloading files from your Box account, we recommend you try

    • Updating your browser to the latest version
    • Clearing your browser's cache
    • Using Box with an alternate browser, computer or network
    • Temporarily disabling any internet security/firewall programs to test whether they conflict with Box (note: you may need clearance/assistance from your organization’s IT department/helpdesk to do this)
    • Disabling any plugins on your browser

    Thanks!

    Hi Aira,

    Thank you for your reply!

    We've tried the above and are still only getting 1MB/s on downloads. Is there anything else that can be done?

    Kind Regards,

    Van

    This is definitely a box.com issue. The download speeds are horrendous across browsers and devices. I have symmetrical 10G and the uploads are fast but takes me 5 minutes to download a 1GB file.
