Can I download my Dropbox files to a USB?
I have a paid "Plus" version of Dropbox subscription.
I have around 262Gb of files on my Dropbox in a complex set of directories.
I need to download all of them inc the directory structures to a 2Tb USB.
PS I have already set the option of "available offline" for all these files so they are all on my local HDD.
Problem is there are a few disk issues on my PC and running normal local backups from this HDD are always a fail with an empty result on the USB.
I just want to get these files directly from Dropbox.

You can certainly download them from Dropbox, but it would be a manual process through the Dropbox website. You wouldn't be able to download them all at once. You can download a folder and it will be compressed into a Zip file, but the folder needs to be less than 20GB with fewer than 10,000 files. You'll need to download your full set of file in multiple downloads.
