View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
I need to COPY a ton of video and photo files from Dropbox.com to an external hard drive. Is there ANY way to do this without downloading to my local dropbox first? I don't have enough space to do that. Thanks in advance for any support.
Hey @WBHK, thanks for dropping by.
Since you don't want to download them locally to your main drive, have you tried changing your browser's default download location?
Give that a shot, and let me know how it goes. Cheers!
