@"MikezZ1" wrote:Why does Dropbox make a .zip file when downloading jpg images? Dropbox only creates Zip files when you download multiple files at once or when you download a folder. When files are downloaded individually, Dropbox doesn't create Zip files.

@"brandonbrant" wrote:That sounds like dropbox is throttling my capacity based off of things I can't control. You can certainly control it. You can easily remove the shared folder from your account. Also, if you only need view and/or download access to the files, ask the owner to send you a view-only shared link instead.

@"brandonbrant" wrote:Do shared folders count against your 2 GBs of space? Yes. When you're a member of a shared folder you aren't getting access to data in someone else's account. You have your own COPY of the data in your account, so you need to have enough available space to hold that data. *…
