Join a discussion or start your own today. I am using dropbox desktop to upload a bunch of files for clients. Each client has a folder created for them, and in that folder are files that are up to roughly 10gb in size. The client and I are not sharing back and forth, all they need to do is download the files in that folder once.
I would assume that most of my clients are not dropbox members, and are trying to download with the web client. On the web client, there is a download button so they can download the contents of that folder. However, everyone who tries to download the files get the same message: "file is too large to download". Is there a limit on how much storage can be downloaded in a day? How can I get my files to my clients?
Go to Solution. The File is too large to download message is referring to the limits for downloading a folder of files, which is 1GB in size or containing 10, files. Anything above those limits will produce an error if they try to download the folder whole. Instead they would need to download the individual files within the folder.
An alternative solution would be for you to Zip the folder ahead of time and providing a link directly to the Zipped file. Share links to a file have no size limitations other than the size of your account like those for a folder. Also, if they have a Dropbox account with enough available space to hold the folder, they can select the Add to my Dropbox option to have the folder automatically saved to their Dropbox account. Another limitation to be mindful of is the amount of bandwidth used daily for your share links.

Jay Community Moderator Dropbox dropbox. Did this post help you? If so, please give it a Like below. Still stuck? Ask me a question! Why is the download being limited when I am paying good money for dropbox service. The only answer I can find online is that I need to download the whole directory, then zip it myself, and then re-upload it to their server.
This is not possible because I neither have the computational resources nor patience. Icedrive is a newcomer to the cloud storage business, having opened its doors to the public in Despite its young age, it manages to impress, providing a fast and secure service at a low price. It comes with no limits to file size, though monthly use is capped more details on that below. Icedrive offers 10GB of free storage and a 3GB transfer limit. It has three paid plans for personal users, which you can pay for either monthly or yearly at a discounted price.
These are the lowest prices per terabyte on this list, especially considering the annual payment option. Icedrive is the only storage provider that matched pCloud in our speed test. It took an average of 28 minutes and 36 seconds to upload our 1GB test file and just shy of five minutes on average to download the same file.
Icedrive provides zero-knowledge encryption for its paying users. This means your data is safe with Icedrive, as long as you keep it encrypted. Icedrive lets you restore previous versions of files, no matter how old they are, even for the largest files.
Versioning is a relatively new feature for Icedrive, and it remains unlimited for now, but that might change as the company grows. In the future, Icedrive will likely retain past file versions up to days for paying users, according to its customer service.
Other features are pretty sparse, especially when it comes to sharing. An in-house document editor is in the works, too, with a planned release in the coming months. One of the most attractive things about Icedrive is its interface. It has a clean design and is easy to use. Icedrive has a bright future ahead, but it still has a little ways to go. It promises a lot, and if it manages to keep those promises, it might become a storage service to rival pCloud or Sync. For now, Icedrive gets third place in our roundup.
As the biggest name in cloud storage, Google Drive has over a billion users worldwide. Google Drive is the only service on this list that offers plans that big, which makes it a genuinely huge cloud storage platform. Google Drive has an extensive library of both third-party and in-house apps.
It is tightly integrated with G Suite, which makes it the best option for productivity. However, Google is infamous for its data collecting, and Drive is no exception to it. Google has access to all of your files, and it can suspend your account at any time.
Since it launched in , Dropbox has become a household name. It keeps innovating in the synchronization space with features such as block-level copying. However, file size is limited to 50GB, which might not be enough for some of your largest files.
Dropbox manages an average upload time of 30 minutes and 18 seconds, and an average download time of five and a half minutes with our 1GB test file. Plus, block-level copying means that reuploads are much faster, uploading only the edited parts of a file. It offers a paltry 2GB of free storage, which is much less than the other entries on this list. Dropbox offers a variety of features and a wide range of third-party integrations.
Dropbox has had its fair share of privacy scandals and security breaches over the years. The most famous of these was the incident when a hacker leaked the emails and passwords of 68 million Dropbox users. It offers only 1TB of storage, but it recently increased its file size limit to GB on all plans. Its fast speed makes it a good option if all you need is a place to store a few big files. Plus, Office integration can help sweeten the deal.
However, it offers unlimited backup, block-level sync and a ridiculous percent discount on its 5TB plan for the first year. The Castle. Very large image file suitable for wall or poster use.
