Question or Issue
I have 50...
Thanks for the reply. Understood on the upload process.
If you don't mind answering, is this the same on the other end? For example, once I upload the 2TB to Dropbox, when my team needs to access the footage to start editing, they'd have to mark the folder "make available offline" (which would fill up local drive) and then copy over to an external to then work on. Then they'd have to change the dropbox folder to back to online-only to free up the local drive again. Do I have that right?

Dropbox Community ModeratorIf the team needs to download or access the files, they would need to mark the folder as available offline, which would then download the files to their local Dropbox folder.
They can then copy the files to the external drive, if their Dropbox folder isn't already located on the external drive, in order to edit the files.
Once done, they can copy the edited files into the Dropbox folder for them to sync back to the site, and then mark the files as online-only.
