What is the secret to downloading large files? 90GB folder fails.

[aimeelyde]

I'm trying to download a 90GB file from a client's Dropbox, and it fails every time regardless of browser or destination. I'm connected via Ethernet.

I haven't been able to find the definitive solution in the forum, and Dropbox has yet to respond after 2 days.

Is it that I also need a paid Dropbox account? (That seems ridiculous.) What is the key?

Help! I need this file in order to work!

Hey @aimeelyde, welcome to our Community! 

Is the file you're trying to download part of a shared link, or shared folder, by any chance? 

When the download fails, does it give you an error, by any chance? You've also mentioned that you tried contacting our Support team, right? 

Would you be able to share your ticket number reference with me, please? 

Thanks a bunch!

It is a file from a shared link to a DB folder. All the other files in the folder downloaded as expected. I get no error message except "failed." My ticket # is 23675022

Hey @aimeelyde, thanks for that!

I've increased the priority of the ticket to High in order to expedite the process, but we definitely appreciate your patience, while they take a closer look into this. 

Thank you!
