Hi, past two weeks I am experiencing extremely low download speeds from dropbox. I work together with a photographer who has a DB pro subscription for years and suddenly the files from his dropbox take hours to download or even days when its videoclips bigger than 500MB. Location: South Germany close to Switzerland. What is going on there?
I have to download a somewhat important 20 GB .zip file from dropbox, but everytime I try it fails at 50-60% and it's impossible to restart it. I'm downloading through direct link, because I dont have a dropbox plan and can't save it to dropbox. Is there is any workaround to get this file?

Every time I try to download a file I get a failed status in Chrome or Safari. When I download in Firefox it fails, however Firefox allows me to "restart" the download and it begins again where it left off... so I can complete the download by repeating this as many times as necessary per file. Very annoying.
Hey marc1234, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community. Download/upload limits on the Dropbox website do exist, but on a 'per upload/download' level, not on a 'per day' level. There is a daily bandwidth limit, though, when downloading files from shared links, or uploading files to file requests.
In order to download a folder as a Zip, it needs to contain less than 20GB of data and fewer than 10,000 files. If the folder is larger than either of those, you'll need to download the files within the folder individually, or use the Dropbox application on your computer and let the folder sync to your drive.

It isn't currently possible to download folders that contain more than 10,000 files or are larger than 1 GB via the web interface. If you need to download a folder larger than this, the best way to do so is by adding the files to your Dropbox and allowing them to download to your computer using the Dropbox desktop application.
Thank you, Lusil. It says for Professional + Business accounts you can disable downloads for a shared link but does this mean I can share a folder for a client to view the videos and not download but when they have paid for them, I give them the password to download the file(s)?
Dropbox pretty regularly will start downloading the files when I change a folder from cloud to 'local', and then slow down to a crawl. I'll see it drop randomly down to KB/s and then finally nothing where it just says 'downloading X files' but makes no progress (even after waiting a while).
