Dropbox StaffHi MSteele11, let's jump right into this!
You mentioned that you try to drop the file in a folder. It sounds like you're to upload the file into your Dropbox account, instead of using a File Transfer.
The website uploader has a limit of 50GB per file or folder upload, which would explain why you can't upload the file to your account, if you're dragging it into a folder.
However, you should be able to use these steps, in order to create a File Transfer with files up to 100GB.
Let me know more!
Hi @Megan,
Why isn't there a warning in the browser then that the max file size is 50 GB while using a browser?
Ideally it shouldn't even be possible to select a file over 50 GB in the browser.
That would spare a lot of users a lot of time, nerves and bandwidth.
Edit: I actually retried an upload of a 90 GB file via the browser and it surprisingly worked. Maybe Chrome fixed the 50 GB filesize limit in a recent update.
