Bulk download all my files

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

How can I select more than one folder to download all at once?

Hi @Sarah B.83, thanks for messaging the Community!

If you select the folders you want to download from the left by selecting the checkboxes, then you should get a Download option on the top right.

As mentioned above, the folders selected shouldn't contain more than 10,000 files or be over 20 GB in total.

Let me know how it goes!

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?

Or do as the product intended and download and install Dropbox on your device and let it all download in one go without any human input at all. Remember that the whole point of Dropbox by design is to use it via the software from www.dropbox.com/downloading. The website is only intended to be used when people do not have access to their computers
