Dropbox Transfer
32 TopicsDropbox downloads files bigger than 20 GB
Hi, We are sharing enormous files sometimes with dropbox, files over 20GB/50GB and beyond, we've been doing that for a long time with dropbox but recently I've encontered a server error when downloading any big file via chrome without downloading the application. Our internet connection is stable and very good. We've tryed with differents computers in differents network. We've zipped our files so it get smaller and we go into the file page to make sure we're downloading only one file and dropbox is not doing a zip file of our zip file. And then we get the server message when we're about half through the download. I was wandering if anything changed with dropbox recently about file downloads if there is new limitations. We're not using Dropbox Transfer we use normal file sharing through the application. We've got all the same options in there so I don't really know why there is dropbox transfer since it used to work just fine. Thanks in advance,5.9KViews0likes3CommentsBeing notified when someone downloads your files
Hi, Anyone have any info on this: I used to get notified if some files I had shared were downloaded by the recipient. I don't receive those notifications any longer. I did in 2020-2021. Is there anyway to see or be notified if my files are downloaded by someone? If not, why was that service cancelled. I have a professional account.

A business sent me an email with a link to a file in Dropbox. When I clicked on the link in the email, a new tab opened on my browser - Transfer - Dropbox. After a few seconds of handshaking messages in the lower left of the screen, everything stops on a blank white screen. I thought 'Maybe I need to have Dropbox installed on my laptop.' Done that. Go to dropbox.com and access Transfer, then Download. I opened dropbox.com, opened Transfer. No download option, only upload. Been chasing Help and Forum for a while, no joy. Help, pleaseSolved5.3KViews3likes3CommentsDropbox transfer right-click option vanished from windows 11
Hello, would like to ask for a hepl with Dropbox transfer. I used Dropbox transfer from my Windows 11 by clicking right button on my mouse and there was "send with dropbox transfer" option. I could select more files and do the same. But now I can not see this option anymore in my windows. There is just Dropbox > View in Dropbox / Version history. Any guess what shall I do? I haveaccount with 5 TB storage including this transfer feature. Thanks in advance, Jana4.8KViews1like26CommentsDropbox Transfer Limits
Hi, I'm using Dropbox Transfer on a Dropbox for Business account. Are there any limits on public access and number of downloads? We have something we need to send to the press that will be downloaded many dozens of times via a web page. I only see settings for password and expiration and no information on other limitations. Thanks!Solved4.1KViews0likes1CommentI'm getting an error when trying to download files from a Transfer, what can I do?
Hi all. I've been having some problems receiving large transfer files from a fellow Dropboxer. He originally sent one 20 gig file, which was well within his limits for his account, but I couldn't download it. I got half of it down, and it just quit giving me an error message (error 79). He then broke up the file to it's component folders and sent them individually. Most were around 1 gig or under, and I had no problem downloading them. There was one folder, however, that was 11 gigs, and once again I got the same error message after attempting to download around half of the file. My limit for space on Dropbox is 4.2 gigs, but as a recipient of the transfer file my space shouldn't matter, or does it? Anyone else encounter this? Regards, CameronSolved3.9KViews1like3CommentsFix incorrect internet speed warning when downloading large Dropbox Transfers
I'm not sure if it's a lot of files, or a large size that triggers this warning. The warning claims the internet connection is not fast enough, and also suggests moving to spot with better signal, erroneously assuming it's a wifi or cell connection even if it is hardwired. The warning is incorrect. For large transfers, it come up on any internet connection I've tested, including very fast home internet (300mb/s down) and very fast commercial dual 10gigabit fiber connections at a film post production facility in NYC. It looks sloppy to be sending my clients big files, and have them see this warning, when they connect from a state of the art, top 0.01% internet connection designed specifically for downloading large files quickly.2.8KViews1like6CommentsDropbox Transfer and download
I have sent several transfer links to myself from my pc in order to copy large video files to my tablet. I did this from the video file on my PC directly. I get an email message with the link for the transfer with no problem but when I click on download the download manager says its downloading a file called, file.bin, and not the video file name in the link. If I preview the file it plays the video no problem. I've been unable to locate the file.bin on the tablet. What am I doing wrong? And how do I find the transfer files in the app? There's no folder for transfers? Where are the files on dropbox that I created the transfer for? ThanksSolved2.6KViews0likes2Comments
