    No. Dropbox does not support FTP access.

    There are third-party applciations/services that can provide FTP access to your files, but they are not supported by Dropbox. Try a Google search.

Hi Jane,

Thanks for your reply and basically I receive a lot of download link from the customer.

I use to download it from the web but it takes a lot of time because it is downloaded as zip and if I sync it then sync process is very slow.

Hence,  is this something possible that I can save that link to my linked FTP account and can later download with the FTP server where I can get the multiple concurrent connections.

Please suggest. Thanks.

    Hi,

    I have been facing a lot of issues while downloading from the shared Dropbox link and when I start any download using the browser, it starts well but gets fail after sometime.

    Please see the link of screen grab ( https://prnt.sc/o1nml5).

    I changed everything, like browser, multiple ISP's and different PC's but nothing helps.

    Please guide what should I do. Thanks.
