I am having the same issues and its quite urgent that Idownload my files immediately within the next week. 

 

Can someone please help? And once you've actually come up with a solution can you post it online somewhere easily accessible to people? Reverting back to this post is really ridiculous.

Same exact issue. The download fails at the very last second. The zip is only 1.8GB large with 12 files inside.

Super frustrating to wait through an entire multiple GB download only to fail at the end. When you press "Resume" it just restarts the download from 0. Dropbox is super frustrating to use at times.

    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with this vsarpe!

     

    Are you getting any errors for the download? If so, please send me a screenshot of this (excluding any personal info).

     

    Also, do you have the same issue when using an incognito window, or another web browser?

     

    Let me know how it goes!
