Is there a Dropbox Transfer limit?

I have just used Dropbox Transfer for the first time. I have transferred a couple of videos to a friend interstate. I am now told that my Transfer limit is down to 4Mb. I wish to ask if this figure resets after a time period?

 

Thanks...

    Hi there Rodeagle, thanks for checking in with us. 

     

    In general, the size limit of your transfer depends on the plan that you have. You can find more info about it, here

     

    If you're getting such sharing error messages though, they generally refresh after 24 hours. 

     

    Give me another nudge if you have any other questions, thanks!

      Thank you Lusil for your response.

       

      Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my question. I have a free account, and I see there is a 200Mb limit to the new Dropbox Transfer service, and I have come to using all that.

       

      What I wish to learn is if this an all time limit or does it re-set after a period?

       

      Thank you...

        Thanks for getting back to us here Rodeagle!

         

        As Lusil mentioned above, these limits would refresh after 24 hours.

         

        Hope this helps!
