There was an error downloading your file
Hey there. Never experienced this issue before, but can't seem to download individual files within folders and get that error message. Can download the folder containing the files though.
- 7 years agoI’d like to further investigate whether I’m getting the same behavior when I try the same steps as you do through our Official channel. For that reason & in order to investigate having all our tools available, I’ve made sure to reach out to you directly via email on my end.Whenever you find some time, please check your inbox for my email & I’ll make sure to promptly get back in touch with you asap. Thanks for reaching out on our Community & I’ll be awaiting your next reply!

7 years agoHey MahaOs, I’ve moved your post into this conversation, in order to ping you to the previous hints that I had posted to TRabb above (i.e. trying again from an incognito window & clearing your cache).
Moving forward, let me ask you a couple of questions below that will help me better understand what’s happening.
Are you trying to download these files through a shared link incidentally? Does it happen intermittently or have you noticed a pattern (eg. does it affect specific filetypes)?
I'd appreciate it if you could you send me a link to the document that you're having trouble with (if you're comfortable sharing of course). For instructions on how to create a link to a file in your Dropbox, you may have a look at the steps outlined here.
Once I have this info, I’ll make sure to focus more on the issue in question on this discussion. Thanks in advance for the time you’re devoting on the matter & I’ll be awaiting your next message!
