Dropbox's uploading works best for files less than 150 MB in size. See https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-java/api-docs/v2.0.x/com/dropbox/core/v2/files/DbxUserFilesRequests.html . The downloading endpoints will return a size parameter in the response, though I'm not sure what the size restrictions are, if any. You can check the size of a file before downloading it by calling getMetadata on the file, and then calling getSize on the result.
