i guess we can expect the inevitable mass enshittification too, soon...
It's already shit. Try downloading more than 20GB at a time.
"You may keep in mind that you can download the contents of an entire Dropbox folder via dropbox.com, as long as both of the following are true:
The folder is less than 20 GB in total size The folder has fewer than 10,000 total files"
Say you want to leave the platform, they hold your data hostage and cripple your experience with migration. They force you to use 3rd party apps to download your own documents because they can't support a full export.
The enshittification is already here.
Rclone
Rclone was my saving grace
Use the client to sync all your files to disk instead of the website.
The client is dreadfully slow at syncing 1TB+ of data (corporate accounts).
