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!
