How can I download a 50 GB file from Dropbox without upgrading my account?
Hi everyone, I need to download a file from Dropbox (50 GB) to an external hard drive. However, in order for me to get access to the file, I will need to upgrade my plan. I currently have the free one. Is there a way for me to access the file folder and download it onto my external hard drive without upgrading ?
Thank you!

Hey francis1234556677775764645645, thanks for posting your question.
Can you let me know a bit more about how you'll be accessing the file?
If someone shares a 'can-view' link to the file with you, you should be able to just download it to your computer, without adding it to your Dropbox, thus not needing to upgrade your account.
You can read more about downloading files from our website here.
Let me know if you have any questions.
thank you for this
