A zip file shared with me cannot be extracted. Is there a work around to get the files?
Dropbox message >> Too big to load
This file type must be smaller to load here.

Hi there, NancyAnnPhoto, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community!
Currently, there's no way to unzip a file through Dropbox; have you tried downloading it to your computer and unzipping it there?
How large is the file in question?
Let me know.

Could you send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting, so that we can have a visual too NancyAnnPhoto ?
Also, have you tried another browser and/or another program to un-zip the file?

My assistant fixed me up! I do not know what she did, but I'm in business once again. Sorry for the interruption.
