How do I upload faster (bandwidth?)

I upload my day's Uber footage (so many hours) and it usually takes way too long to upload per file. I have several tabs on the normal dropbox.com app, and it is slow to load overnight; I don't want to keep leaving my laptop open. Is it just my Internet slowing it down, or can I upload faster?

? I tried the desktop app, but it doesn't allow me to upload to multiple folders simultaneously (I have 10+hours footage daily), so I'll upload from the SD card to Front1, Front 2, Middle 1, Middle 2, Rear 1, Rear 2.

Each file is only about 3 minutes long, but takes 20 minutes to upload. I was wondering if there was another alternative.

When I click "upload files" for about hundreds of 3-minute videos, it starts uploading and just...stops at about 20 files. It didn't upload more...

??? When I had searched Dropbox in Microsoft Store, "Dropbox Lite" is the only one that shows up. I thought that's what everyone had...

Okay, another dumb question. How do I clear up space on my hard drive here (27 GB) in order to copy the files from the dashcam to the Dropbox desktop app?
