Hi, past two weeks I am experiencing extremely low download speeds from dropbox. I work together with a photographer who has a DB pro subscription for years and suddenly the files from his dropbox take hours to download or even days when its videoclips bigger than 500MB. Location: South Germany close to Switzerland. What is going on there?
I have to download a somewhat important 20 GB .zip file from dropbox, but everytime I try it fails at 50-60% and it's impossible to restart it. I'm downloading through direct link, because I dont have a dropbox plan and can't save it to dropbox. Is there is any workaround to get this file?
Good news here, the problem has been fixed...I was able to download a 23GB file from the web @ a consistent 30mb/sec...took 13 minutes. Dropbox support emailed me this morning to let me know: We've had our engineers working on this and the good news is the problem has been fixed.

Beta users will see live Dropbox storage usage when opening Manage hard drive space for the first time. Renamed Windows context menu options to match those used on macOS. The Dropbox app now supports Windows-on-ARM devices. Fixed in this update: Fixed the Make file online-only button so that it remains in a loading state until eviction is complete.
Dropbox is randomly trying to download the problem zip files yet again. :/ Twice so far I've had to reset them to online only. Frustrating! Just as before, I was not trying to view the files or interacting with them in any way, not indexing as far as I'm aware, didn't even have File Explorer or the Dropbox folder open, no virus scan running ...
Jan 3, 2022 · (For context, Dropbox had been working fine for me previously, as I use it exclusively for personal files (and for work i used Microsoft's One Drive). However, I am now using Dropbox Business for work (hence my personal Dropbox does not have a local sync to my computer) and I am trying to migrate all my personal Dropbox files to my local D drive on my computer.)
In order to download a folder as a Zip, it needs to contain less than 20GB of data and fewer than 10,000 files. If the folder is larger than either of those, you'll need to download the files within the folder individually, or use the Dropbox application on your computer and let the folder sync to your drive.
Jay - thank you - that's very helpful. I did a test with the Dropbox desktop app. I did selective sync on a folder - unchecked it. It disappeared from the dropbox folder on my computer. Then I went back to selective sync and checked it. It came back to my dropbox folder and each file had the original time-date stamp. Problem solved - thank you.
Hey marc1234, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community. Download/upload limits on the Dropbox website do exist, but on a 'per upload/download' level, not on a 'per day' level. There is a daily bandwidth limit, though, when downloading files from shared links, or uploading files to file requests.
