Dropbox Transfer and download
I have sent several transfer links to myself from my pc in order to copy large video files to my tablet. I did this from the video file on my PC directly.
I get an email message with the link for the transfer with no problem but when I click on download the download manager says its downloading a file called, file.bin, and not the video file name in the link. If I preview the file it plays the video no problem. I've been unable to locate the file.bin on the tablet. What am I doing wrong? And how do I find the transfer files in the app? There's no folder for transfers? Where are the files on dropbox that I created the transfer for?
Thanks
- Hi FRSAM, welcome to our Community!
Just out of curiosity, are these the steps you follow to create the file transfer?
You wouldn't be able to locate all of your transfers under the app, unless you've also uploaded the files to Dropbox.
If you use a shared link, are you able to download the file?
Let me know!

Let me know!Yup. That was it. Had to upload to DB first. Don't know why its offered as an option under ' share' a file. Thanks!
