Try running ssh (log in as root with the NAS admin password).
The standard client name is just dropbox, so maybe start with

The command line interface for the client includes a throttle for both upload and download, it is possible that those are set and limiting your sync speed.

Well, the interesting thing too is that its not always syncing. At least that's how it seems. There are periods where it syncs to Dropbox and then nothing, despite it being backlogged. I'll have to try and catch it during a sync period.
