Problem Downloading Large File
I have a large file (100GB) on Dropbox for which I've sent a link for a third party to download. That party has a professional optical fiber connection (1 giga). The party has advised that the file ...
Alexis G, just for clarity, you say, "You can do this now. You can generate a link from your big file and just share the link." I shared the link generated from within Windows file explorer, but it uses the https protocol to download when clicked (via a browser) - the very method I've been moaning about. Have I misunderstood? Is there another way to give them access via a download app other than them having to install Dropbox on their own machine and synching the particular file (which would require them having Pro Dropbox). If there is, please can you advise?
My suggestion is that Dropbox provide a little app that interfaces to their servers and securely downloads the file to where ever required. A one time run type app. Not a run all the time synching app.
