Hi @Ninja_moon3, I hope you're doing well! 

 

It seems you're trying to download a shared link. Due to the size, it wouldn't allow you to download it, since it's larger than 20GB.

 

You can click on the "Save to my Dropbox" option instead, to add a copy of the files to your Dropbox account. The files in the link will be added to your Dropbox account and will immediately begin syncing down to your linked devices. Would that work for you?

 

Let me know!

I'm not going to pay for the extra storage, this is one file but I would still have to pay
