Download fails at 315mb every time
I have uploaded 10 1GB files. When people (including me) try to download them they fail at 315mb, every time. Why is this happening?

I've just spoken with a contact within Dropbox and they tell me that this is a known bug and that they're currently working on a solution. I'll post more if and when I get it.

Thanks. I'm glad that this is now known issue and being addressed. At first I thought it was my client user error or computer/ISP issues but it kept happening for both US and international clients of mine.
I send lots of larger files so it's starting to impact my workflow and time because when there is an issue, I have to resend the larger files via WeTransfer and then things start to become scattered.

Hello there,
I'm trying to download to my computer a a file of aprox. 3GB that was shared with me. I have a free Dropbox account. Every time I try to dowload, it starts and the stops after about 312MB. Can you please help me resove this? Do I need to upgrade to a paid account? I get no message and my computers shows the file as completed but it's just a fraction of the complete file...
Thanks a lot!

Hello. I have the same problem and it's more of us. It is described in previous posts, and now we all have to wait for a repair service provider. As he writes Laurelin (Dropboxer) - "this is a bug and we're working hard to fix it as soon as possible". Petr Falek
