What is the file limit per file on Dropbox file requests in October 2025?

Question or Issue
 

Hello! What is the current, actual file limit PER FILE for Dropbox REQUEST files? I always believed it was 50GB, so I always asked my team to keep their uploads to 50GB per zipped file. However, a team member just uploaded a file that was 67GB, and I was able to download it without issue. 

If this is a change, I'd like to be aware of the new limit and to inform my team that the 50GB limit (which was always pretty annoying as our files tend to be over 150 GB per wedding), is no longer in place, making our lives easier. 

The reason I'm asking here is because I can't find any relevant or up to date information online. Everything I'm finding either mentions the 50 GB limit (which seems to have been increased), or doesn't talk about Dropbox Request, only Dropbox uploads in general. Thanks!

    Thank you very much! I had no idea that the size limit had increased from back when I had purchased the plan.
