What's the maximum size you can download from Dropbox?
Can someone advise the max file size for downloading from DropBox Office? i.e. the paid version?

Note that the above limitations only apply to a folder that is downloaded from the Dropbox website. When downloading files, there is no limit to their size. If you're having others download files through a share link you've sent, there are daily traffic limits which could affect downloads from your account.

Yes, if you download a file from the website.
Specifically, my individual file (not a folder) is 26.44GB large but the download stops once it reaches 20GB, resulting in a corrupt file on the computer.

I am trying to download a large number of pictures from my photo album using a paid version of dropbox. The download automatically zipped the files and downloaded. Unfortunately, it only downloads 23 of the selected picture files for a total of 99.9mb. This seems contrary to everything I have read.

Why is there such a limitation using the web client for moving folders with large amount of files?
I would like to move some folders from my business acount to a new folder though the web client in order to avoid re-uploading 50gb of data though my desktop client.
I get this error "Too many files, please use desktop application" which is really really frustrutating.
I decided to use dropbox business in order to be more flexible and limitations like these are just unacceptable. Such features ought to be provided error-free if you want dropbox to be used by professionals.
