At this point I am totally frustrated.
I am using a desktop PC running Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit) and have downloaded the desktop Dropbox app, which I am assuming is working correctly. When I click on the Dropbox icon it opens the Windows File Explorer. From here on out I am totally lost.
I have upgraded to Dropbox Professional, since the file I need to download is 20.4 GB.
The file I am trying to download is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2mphf8rq9so9rlh/Mercedes_2019.ova?dl=0
I would like to thank you in advance for your considerate attention and help with resolving this problem.

3 years agoHi TERGUS,
When you install the Dropbox App, it creates a Dropbox folder in your hard drive. The Dropbox folder mirrors the contents of your account, as you see it on the website.
I would suggest to navigate to the file's location using the Windows File Explorer, and double click to open it.
If the icon on that file is a grey cloud, it may need few minutes to download and open.
Keep us posted with any updates.
