Dropbox File Transfer Limit Clarification

Hi Dropbox Community,

I'm seeking clarification on Dropbox's file transfer limit. For example, the business plan has a 100 GB file transfer limit. Is this limit:

1. A per-file size limit (e.g., I can upload/download multiple files under 100 GB each, with no overall limit)?
Or
2. A cumulative limit per time period (e.g., 100 GB total per day, with restrictions on uploading/downloading additional files until the period resets)?

For example, can I upload multiple 50 GB files consecutively, or is there a daily cap of 100 GB total?

    Hey Taa97, welcome to our Community!

     

    Your first assumption is actually correct.

     

    The limits refer to sizes, but Transfers don't take up your daily sharing bandwidth, so consequently, you should be able to transfer multiple e.g. 50 GB files.

     

    I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
