Happy to help in any way possible rajeshm.
Due to the size of the folder it's possible that it'd either download as a zip, or that it'd be too large indeed.
They could try adding it to their Dropbox account, which would automatically save the file and then sync to their app. However, they'd need enough space to do that.
Once you have the screenshot, let me know.

Hi rajeshm, welcome to our Community!
Were they trying to download the file on their device, or save it on their Dropbox account? Keep in mind, that in order for the latter one to work out, they'd need to have enough space on their Dropbox account.
It'd also be helpful to know more in regards to the error they receive on their end.
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there.

Hi Megan,
They were trying to download to their device. Is it essential for them to have a enterprise/business account to download any file larger file.
Thanks,

Hi rajeshm, I hope you're doing well!
They should be able to download the content even with an individual account as long as they have enough space. Are you sharing the file using a shared link?
Also, do they get any errors on their end, or the file size is smaller when downloaded?

Thanks Megan, Iam good. Hope you too.
Yes. Im sharing thru the shared link only. There is no error at their end, file download is showing as completed but its incomplete. No issues when downloading smaller files.
