I cannot download multiple photos

I am using a Mac laptop and when I check multiple photos to download they do not download any of them. I have to download one at a time. How can I download more than one at a time?

    Hi cranerr, could you try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, and clearing your cache?

    Hi cranerr, thanks for posting on our forum. 

     

    If I get this right, you’re having trouble downloading files directly from the Dropbox website, correct? 

     

    Are you receiving any kind of error when trying to download multiple files at once? Also, is the total size of files you’re downloading more than 20GB perhaps? 

     

    Let me know!

      I am having issues only with downloading pictures. There is no error. Also, I do not see the size of anything on Dropbox.

        Hey cranerr, can you clarify if you're using the web to download content locally? 

         

        Do you perhaps use the desktop app, when trying to change the state of your files? 

         

        You mentioned there's no error, can you let me know what happens then?
