Can I download 2TB of files in one go, without syncing them to my computer first?
Boss wants me to back up all of our assets from dropbox to the company's servers here in our office "just in case."
Problem is that's hundreds of folders, almost 2TB of data (photos, videos, documents, etc). Is there any way to transfer files, or download all of our dropbox assets straight on to an external hard drive, and NOT on to my Mac? Without manually downloading <250GB sized amounts at a time?

Thanks for posting on our Community today, gbcvb.
On the Dropbox website, there’s a downloading limit of 250GB indeed, so you’d need to download the content in batches unfortunately.
If you don’t wish to do this, then you’d need to download/sync the files locally to your Mac device (with the desktop app) and then, copy them to the external drive.
Wish I could be more helpful, but feel free to ping me for anything else.
