Can I download a Dropbox Transfer to my external drive?

Can I download a dropbox transfer straight to my external hard drive? I don't have enough space on my computer.

    Hi klinds, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    If you're downloading anything via your browser, then there is always the option to choose what location you're going to save it to, regardless of Dropbox.

     

    This means you can change the location to your external drive. 

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
