    Hey walwar, 
     
    Let me send over some more details and tips to determine the cause!
     
    • For starters, you may have a look here for some steps to adjust your bandwidth locally. 
    • Secondly, you could try force quitting all other applications and see if this helps improving your syncing speed. 
    • Also, let me ask you whether you’re in a work or home environment. 
    • You could use the link below to check your connection speed through your ISP and local network by using the following link: http://www.speedtest.net/
     
    I’ll be following-up here, so please keep me updated in your reply!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to respond!  

    I have tried your suggestion and ONE photo uploaded... and unfortunately it seems to be stuck again :(

    Any other ideas?

      I can see that you’ve troubleshooting with a coleeague via ticket and they has replied to you there. At your convenience, could you check your inbox for this message and let me know if you have any issues locating their message, so that I make sure that you receive it again?
       
      Hope this gets resolved soon!

        Sorry I haven't seen the ticket - if you could resend to [Personal Information removed by Jane] that would be helpful! 

        A handful of photos have uploaded today... but still going EXTREMELY slow.
