Open public dropbox url in macos desktop app (finder)

Hi,

 

I want to open a public dropbox url in the macos desktop app (finder). How can I do this?

The issue is I need to download the entire folder but I receive the message it's too large to download.

What are other alternatives?

 

Cheers,
Jaap

    Dropbox doesn't do that. A Dropbox link will open in a web browser and you can download the files there. The alternative would be to save the folder to your account (assuming you have enough space) and then it will sync to your computer through the Dropbox application. You should see an option on the web page to save the content to your own Dropbox.
