Extremely slow download speeds

I've been experiencing extremely slow download speeds since starting to use box last week. It can take up to an hour just to download one file. I've tried both the desktop app and browser.

I'm expected to finish projects quickly and this just isn't working for me. My internet connection has very fast upload and download speeds. I don't have any problem downloading files from google drive or other sites.

    I have the same problem. Opening even the simplest file from my desktop Box folder takes for-effing-ever.

    I have the same problem. Files don't download at all anymore on my Mac. It starts downloading but it never finishes and we are talking file sizes of 92KB! I can access important files only through the web interface. I tried reinstalling everything and it didn't get better. Very close to move work files to one drive or dropbox. Also haven't found a support email address or anything.

    I have the same problem. Is there a generic solution that could be posted here?

    I learned today from my IT group that third party apps can slow the download speed. One called 'Druva' exhibits this property. I've asked them to disable it, and will report back if the Box file access speed improves.

    I'm also experiencing this issue downloading from Box specifically. My download speeds are around 20 Mbps for other file sharing services, and less than 1 Mbps for Box.

    We have the same issue. We have 250/250 dedicated fiber and a 60GB file takes ~16 hours to download. That's not an acceptable download speed for anyone.
