    Welcome to our Community, MostafaJM! Hope you’re doing well. 

     

    All Dropbox plans have bandwidth limitations indeed, and exceeding them could lead your Dropbox account's sharing to be temporarily banned (the first time this happens, it usually lasts about 24h, before the ban is automatically lifted). 

     

    If you’re on Dropbox Plus, then this limit is 1TB per day, which means that once the total amount of files downloaded is over 1 TB, then the links are banned.

     

    Hope this clarifies things a bit.
