Does server close the connection once download a file over 90 minutes?

Adam L.26

Hi,

 

I have a 50GB file in my dropbox but I can't download whole file with download API over a month, the connection always been closed after 90min but my download process works fine on other files (only few GB)

 

Is it any limitation about the connection? maybe it will automatically closed after 90 min or something else? Thanks.

HTTPS connections can time out, so to download large files, I recommend using "Range Retrieval Requests" to download in pieces. For example, issuing such a request to download the first 1000 bytes of a file using /2/files/download would look like:

 

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download \
    --header "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
    --header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"<FILE_PATH>\"}" \
    --header "Range: bytes=0-999"
