Bulk download all my files
Hi. I can no longer afford the monthly fee, but have 26gb of files. Please can you advise how I can do a bulk download perhaps multiple zip.files rather than individual downloads?Many thanks

To download all of your Dropbox files go to Dropbox web - https://www.dropbox.com/home You can split the data in few separate folders (so that in case a download fails during long downloads, you don't have to start from the beginning). Then you can download folders one by one.
It will download zip of each folder. Each folder should not be more than 20GB, or contain more than 10,000 files - https://help.dropbox.com/sync/download-entire-folders

5 years agoOr do as the product intended and download and install Dropbox on your device and let it all download in one go without any human input at all. Remember that the whole point of Dropbox by design is to use it via the software from www.dropbox.com/downloading. The website is only intended to be used when people do not have access to their computers

I don't think the OP specified a particular client. But thanks for suggesting the app, I'll try that.
And I thank you Dropbox for your service, you were there for me when hard drives were expensive and internet speeds were getting fast. But I've spent way too much on you now and just want to copy all my files down to my $80 4TB hard drive now.
