Downloading shared folder not in zip format
Can a folder of files be shared and not download as a zip file, but just as a folder, as it was uploaded to Dropbox as?

Thanks for any answers on this…

Upload through browser extremely slow since today
In the past month I have uploaded over 900 GB through browser with roughly 20-30 mbits per second. Today the speed crashed down below 200 kb/s which is completely unusable. I have a 100mb/s line and the upload to other sites is working fine at full speed so it's clearly a Dropbox issue.

I would like to send a link to others to let them view files easily without clicking/swiping on every shot and without downloading all the files. I don't…
