Oh my dear sorry to hear that. I understand that you're having trouble downloading a folder that you found using the search function in Dropbox. I'm happy to help you with this.

Here are a few things you can try:

  • Clear your browser's cache and cookies. This can sometimes help to resolve issues with loading pages or downloading files.
  • Try downloading the folder from a different browser. If you're using Chrome, try using Firefox or Edge.
  • Try downloading the folder from the Dropbox desktop app. If you don't have the desktop app installed, you can download it from the Dropbox website.
