Unblock my banned shared links

Hey there,
I uploaded some videos of a concert and shared it with the group. The video is large (10GB), and so I got blocked from Dropbox. Is there any chance to unblock the block? Is it working after 24h again? Or do I have to do something? (Fyi: I don't have the upgrade to 2TB and don't want it ...)
Thanks for your help!

    Hi Lou1309, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    If you go over the daily bandwidth limit, then shared links are banned for 24 hours, and each subsequent ban would increase the expiry of the ban exponentially.

     

    For Dropbox Basic plans, since you mentioned you don't have a paid plan, is 20 GB per day, meaning that you'd get the ban after 2 attempts to download the file.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
