Bulk download all my files
Hi. I can no longer afford the monthly fee, but have 26gb of files. Please can you advise how I can do a bulk download perhaps multiple zip.files rather than individual downloads?Many thanks

To download all of your Dropbox files go to Dropbox web - https://www.dropbox.com/home You can split the data in few separate folders (so that in case a download fails during long downloads, you don't have to start from the beginning). Then you can download folders one by one.
It will download zip of each folder. Each folder should not be more than 20GB, or contain more than 10,000 files - https://help.dropbox.com/sync/download-entire-folders

So, "No," then, right?
Because making it easy to move your files makes the product less sticky. So screw the user experience and keep those autorenew payments coming, amirite?

There's a reason you've got 20 likes (including mine) it's really frustrating not being able to bulk download all files... It's like all of them are being held hostage.
