Issue when trying to download a 50 GB file from the website
Downloading a 50GB MOV file will complete the download incompletely. The file size is correct, but part of the file is 0x00 for 1024KB. Occurs when downloading multiple files at once with a browser...
I have confirmed that edge crome safari fails in any browser.
Even if I executed the cache clear, it did not change.
For both windows10 and MAC, the problem occurs even after initializing the hard disk and installing a new OS.
If you download 5 50GB files at the same time, they will be downloaded in parallel.
After downloading, download the same 5 files again.
If you check the file size, it is the same in bytes.
If you calculate the HASH values one by one, you will see that the files are different.
Using an application that compares the difference between files one byte at a time, I investigated what is different between the two files, and from the multiple of 1024KB from the beginning, I found that the data for 1024KB is 0x00. I did.
After trying various things, I found that I could download correctly by downloading one by one instead of downloading in parallel.

Dropbox Community ModeratorAre you downloading files from the same shared link, or from different shared links at the same time?
I'm downloading with one shared link.
This link links to a folder. I choose one of the multiple files in the folder and download it. When the download starts, select the next file and download it. By repeating this, 5 downloads are performed in parallel at the same time.- Not any workaround for files <50 Gb.
It’s just impossible. Big problem. Just Crazy.
