Best Wat to Download or Move 18TB of Data?
Hey there!
As a longtime professional photographer/videographer I have a little less than 18TB of data (primarily photos) stored on Dropbox.
Despite having paid for an account for over 10 years, the new plans have removed my unlimited storage camera and file sizes continue to get bigger and bigger I am capped at a point where the plan will be useless to me just a few months.
I need to find a new storage solution and the task of moving 18GB of files is a bit overwhelming.
What's the best way to do this?

Hi Innamorata thanks for posting!
The best way to download such a huge number of data would be the Dropbox app on your computer using the Selective Sync feature.
The Dropbox app has a 2 TB of download limit, so what you can do is select a few folders to sync/download at a time and when finished, to continue with the next ones.
Let me know if this helps!
