Hey Donnie0106, I'd be happy to reply! 

Essentially you'd need enough Dropbox storage in order to achieve that.

If you're using a Basic plan with 2GB of storage, then you wouldn't be able to upload a 233GB file to your account in order to share it with people. 

With Dropbox File Transfer the size limit of your transfer depends on the plan you have too. With a Dropbox Basic account you also get 2 GB to share. 

In conclusion you'd need to either upgrade, or start a trial in order to achieve this.

If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
