Bandwidth Preferences
Transfer speeds depend on server settings and your network connectivity. To limit transfer rates, go to Preferences > Bandwidth.
Manual Versus Automatic Transfers
The limits you set on the Bandwidth tab can be different for transfers that are initiated manually versus those that are automatically triggered. Automatic transfers can include sync-initiated transfers, script-initiated transfers, or any other kind of background method of starting a Drive transfer.
