My requirement was to download the data(file) and store it in our internal server(VM by using wcf service). The average file sizes would be around 5GB process. Is there any other solution rather than chooser.

Another option is to use the Dropbox API to download the file, such as via /2/files/download. That would be more work to integrate than the Dropbox Chooser, and would not necessarily offer better performance.
