Can I download my files from the website directly to my external hard drive?
I'd like to copy ALL of the files I have on dropbox to an external hard drive. Is there an easier way to do that? I don't currently have all my files synced to my computer (in fact the majority are not synced, as there's limited space). I don't want to replace Dropbox, just want to make a duplicate of all files to a hard drive for extra safety. Please let me know if there's a way I can transfer directly from the website to the hard drive. Thanks!

Hey shiva_n! Thanks for posting on our Community today.
You can download your files/folders from our website directly to the location of your choice with these steps. You may first need to adjust the current destination folder your browser downloads/saves files to via your browser settings, though.
If you have very large folders on your Dropbox account, it’s better not to download everything at once, as there’s currently a 250GB limit there. For more details, please see here.
If you need something else, feel free to ping me.
