Have you tried .zip ing it first?


There’s nothing in Box that would inherently slow down uploading those files.  I just tried a 20GB PST file and it uploaded in about a minute.  If you’re comfortable with it, I would open the Developer Console in your browser and look at the Network tab to see if there are any errors/retries happening.  Perhaps also try it from an Incognito/Private browser session to make sure there aren’t any extensions interfering.
