Downloading large files from Dropbox
Hello,
I want to download all my files from Dropbox. It would take about 10hrs in total and I could only run the downloading for about 1hr, then it faulted out. Does anybody have tried this or know how to do this right?
CVO-Appreciation.

Welcome back to the Community, cv2019!
Can you clarify what’s the total size of the files you’re trying to download from Dropbox?
Also, from what I get, you’re trying to download them via the Dropbox website. Is this right? If yes, then keep in mind there’s currently a downloading limit of 250GB there, so if your files/folders are more than that, you’ll need to download them in batches.
Even then though, I can’t guarantee that your web browser won't time out at some point.
However, if you happen to have the desktop app installed, you should be able to simply copy your files from the local Dropbox folder to the location of your choice directly.
Hope this helps.
