can't download files from my dropbox
I'm trying to download folders from Dropbox to my laptop. Some have worked but 2 folder won't download. Any reason why this is happening? Many thanks
- 7 years agoIt shouldnât be that hard Michael (MichaelWeet); sorry to hear that youâre feeling this way. Kindly bear in mind that you could still download your files using our website in smaller batches if you wish to avoid downloading our desktop app. From there, you can store them on any other location on your pc/ Mac just as any other file/ folder.You may give my suggestion a go whenever you find some spare time & please do let me know how you get on with my advice on our discussion here!

LMFAO This was the solved answer? Condescending talk of...."it shouldn't be that hard." [profanity removed according to the Community Guidelines].

Early dropbox adopter. Non paying. Understanding that technology and complexity delights techys, it does not delight everyone. Some of us actually have other things to do than figure out new UIs. So now, I am going to switch to a paid service.

As somebody put it above...it feels like dropbox has trapped us here. I have been trying to download my files of my paid subscription and just postponed it forever and ever rather than dealing with it. There should be a dummy-proof download button I should not have to download an app to be be able to download my files. I am asking the help of a friend to figure it and will let my subscription expire. It feels like a marketing move to prevent people from getting away or buying more time until they figure it out. Unethical.
