I'm not going to ask, it's already a lot to ask someone to send me such a large file.  Maybe she thinks it all uploaded...

    Hey Lapieuvre1 - sorry to jump in here, but have you considered using a shared folder instead of a file request?

      Yes, I always used the shared folder before,  I didn't know Dropbox requests had limitations. So next time i'll go back to it.

      What I don't like, is having to add the person to my family, then when I have the material, remove the person from my family... kind of annoying
