Upload large files (larger than 50GB)

So I understand you correctly, that even if the receiving party has a paid professional account and shares its folder with sufficient space with me, I still need to have the identical paid subscrition on my end to ensure the transfer – and still having the limitation of 50GB per file still in place?

 

I'm transferring files from a cinema camera, which often are (when filmed without interruption) larger than 250GB. How can this be handled? I'm baffled and it proves once more that Dropbox is not an option... Prove me wrong, please!

Hi Quitt, what Rich said is correct, file transfers on Dropbox Professional plans have a maximum of 50 GB per file. 

 

The only option if you want to do it via Dropbox at this stage would be to upgrade your account and add it via the shared folder.
