Hey christopherdawes - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.

Are you familiar with the Dropbox Transfer feature at all? 

If not, can you have a look and let me know if that would do the trick for you? 

Otherwise, feel free to elaborate on your feature request so that we can make sure we're on the same page. 

Thanks!

    Dropbox Transfer is for files already in Dropbox. This file is neither in Dropbox nor on my hard drive. It is in WeTransfer. What I would like to do is to be able to email that WeTransfer link or input it into Dropbox so that Dropbox can ingest the file directly from WeTransfer, cloud to cloud, as opposed to me having to download the 125GB file onto my hard drive then upload the same 125GB file to Dropbox, which will take 24 hours and a lot of babysitting on my part.
