    Hey Morales thanks for sharing! :slight_smile:

     

    Please note that there are different ways for accounts to hit the traffic limits and lead to ban on their account. The Error 429, for example, typically occurs when shared links on your account receive a traffic ban. 
     
    To find out more about shared links, click here and to read up on banned links traffic limits, click here.
     
    As the Error 429 typically occurs when shared links on your account receive a traffic ban, it looks like your links are currently disabled. 
     
    Since you mentioned submitting an official request on this, if you'd like, feel free to get back to me with the ticket ID associated with your request, so I can locate it on our back-end and follow up with you via email. 💌
     
    Thanks and happy Friday!

Sory about it I didn't know where to put this topic exactly
Any way there must be some thing wrong with Drop Box because I just uploaded random picture and zip file with some content both are legal don't have virus and the size of my zip file is 150MB where limit is 20 GB so all the requirements are met so the question is Wut is wrong ??? Edit: and yes I checked the direct download right after I uploaded it
