Each client has a folder created for them, and in that folder are files that are up to roughly 10gb in size. The client and I are not sharing back and forth, all they need to do is download the files in that folder once. I would assume that most of my clients are not dropbox members, and are trying to download with the web client. On the web client, there is a download button so they can download the contents of that folder.
However, everyone who tries to download the files get the same message: "file is too large to download". Is there a limit on how much storage can be downloaded in a day? How can I get my files to my clients? The File is too large to download message is referring to the limits for downloading a folder of files, which is 1GB in size or containing 10, files.
Anything above those limits will produce an error if they try to download the folder whole. Instead they would need to download the individual files within the folder. An alternative solution would be for you to Zip the folder ahead of time and providing a link directly to the Zipped file. Share links to a file have no size limitations other than the size of your account like those for a folder.
Also, if they have a Dropbox account with enough available space to hold the folder, they can select the Add to my Dropbox option to have the folder automatically saved to their Dropbox account.
Another limitation to be mindful of is the amount of bandwidth used daily for your share links. This is per day on a hour sliding window. View solution in original post.

The only answer I can find online is that I need to download the whole directory, then zip it myself, and then re-upload it to their server. This is not possible because I neither have the computational resources nor patience. I'm a paying customer. Report abuse. Details required :. Cancel Submit.
