Hi Joetta Rodriguez and everyone,
An update here for us:
We passed Salesforce approval and the latest version (1.618) is listed publicly on this page:
https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N30000000prqLEAQ&tab=d
If you are a Salesforce Admin, you can upgrade the package to 1.618 to resolve the issue.
Let us know if this works for you!

Hi Mark, I am a drop box user facing a similar issue. The folder I am trying to download is approximately a 100 GB and has multiple sub-directories in it. Every time I try to download the folder I encounter error 400.

Hey Abe Abraham, thanks for the nudge here.
At the moment, you can only download a folder if it’s less than 20 GB and has fewer than 10,000 total files.
As a workaround, you can download the folder in smaller chunks, or use the Dropbox desktop app, to sync the folder to your computer.
I hope this helps!

Hello Hannah,
Do you have a concrete date for when this issue/policy will be fixed?
Currently, making periodical backups to an on-site hdd is an extremely tedious process.
Enough reason in fact to move away from Dropbox and subscribe to another service.
