    Hi paulflute, is it a shared folder, or a shared link? 

     

    Provided it's a shared folder, you should be able to view it using your sharing tab. Can you calculate its size using these steps, and let me know more?

As long as you're not distributing copyrighted material, then yes, you could put a link on your website to download the file from your Dropbox. If the game is copyrighted or you otherwise don't have the rights to distribute it, then no, doing so would be a violation of the Dropbox Terms and could result in your account being deleted.

 

Also keep in mind that there are bandwidth limits associated with shared links. If the file is large and you have a lot of people downloading it, you could easily hit those limits.
