Photos being Compressed to Zip
The whole reason I had my wedding guests upload their photos to dropbox was because according the dropbox they are stored without compression. Now I have thousands of guest photos and I can't figure out how to download them without them being compressed (zipped) or doing so ONE AT A TIME (ridiculous waste of time for thousands of images). If anyone knows a work around please help. It was a battle to get everyone to upload their photos. Now it seems like I am going to spend hours downloading them one at time. I am so dissapointed with this document storage service. What a waste. Can't believe I am paying for this hassle.

If you're trying to download a folder of files or multiple files at the same time, you'll get a Zip file. To get individual files you'll either need to download them one at a time, or install the Dropbox application on your computer an allow the files to sync down to your local drive.
