Query Regarding Download Limits for Specific File in Dropbox Plus Plan

I'm a subscriber to Dropbox on the Dropbox Plus plan, and I have a program that has several users and requires direct download of a specific file from my Dropbox account. The file size is approximately 200 bytes, which is equivalent to 0.2KB. Are there any limits on the maximum number of times or any restrictions on downloading this file by users of the program?

  • Welcome to our Community, MostafaJM! Hope you’re doing well. 

     

    All Dropbox plans have bandwidth limitations indeed, and exceeding them could lead your Dropbox account's sharing to be temporarily banned (the first time this happens, it usually lasts about 24h, before the ban is automatically lifted). 

     

    If you’re on Dropbox Plus, then this limit is 1TB per day, which means that once the total amount of files downloaded is over 1 TB, then the links are banned.

     

    Hope this clarifies things a bit.

    I have a Dropbox Plus subscription and need to directly download a particular file from my Dropbox account for a program used by multiple users. The file is around 200 bytes or 0.2KB in size. Are there any constraints or restrictions on the maximum download frequency for this file by users of the program?
