    Hi there emontellano, thanks for checking in with us!

    In general, you can download the contents of an entire Dropbox folder from the website, as long as the folder is less than 20 GB and has fewer than 10,000 files.

    However, since you want to download your entire Dropbox account, you can install the desktop app and let it sync, instead.

    Once syncing is complete, if you don't need the desktop app running on your computer, you can uninstall it. This will remove the desktop app from your computer but will leave the Dropbox folder on your hard drive.

    You can find more info about the Dropbox desktop app here.

    Let me know if you have any other questions!
