Rich,
I have a related question. I have almost 2TB of space in my DB account, but when I send a link for someone to upload a file, it's limiting the size of the file to less than 2GB. I don't see anything that says there is a size restriction for uploads...is there?

Hi TaydraMitchellJackson; thanks for joining the Dropbox Community and happy Friday!
I'm sorry to jump in here; but if I understand correctly, you must be on our Plus plan since this plan comes with 2 TB of space. As our plans page mentions, file requests can be up to 2 GB on that plan.
If you need others to upload larger amounts of data to your account (without the need to have an account of their own), you might want to consider upgrading to the Professional plan since file requests on that plan can be up to 100 GB.
I hope this helps!
