# Dropbox Link Disabled for Traffic? Here's the Fix Last updated: 2026-09-23 If a Dropbox shared link stopped working with "this account's links are generating too much traffic," you've hit Dropbox's daily bandwidth limit. Basic (free) accounts cap shared-link traffic at 20GB per day; paid plans get more but still have a ceiling. When you cross it, Dropbox disables your links for 24 hours. For sharing a file widely, that's a hard wall, here's the way around it.

Dropbox limits the total traffic a shared link can generate per day: roughly 20GB/day for Basic (free) accounts and 400GB/day for paid plans, along with a daily download-count limit. Exceed it and the links are suspended for 24 hours. ### Why does Dropbox say my links generate too much traffic? Too many people downloaded your shared files in a 24-hour window, pushing you past the daily bandwidth or download-count limit. Dropbox disables the links temporarily to throttle the traffic. ### Does storage.to limit shared-link traffic? No. There's no daily bandwidth cap and no download-count limit. Links stay live and full-speed until the file expires. ### Is storage.to free like Dropbox Basic? Yes. Upload up to 25GB per file with no account, and recipients download for free with no traffic ceiling. Free uploads auto-expire after a few days, while Premium, from $5/month, keeps files permanently and takes files up to 100GB each. ### Should I stop using Dropbox? Dropbox is great for syncing and personal storage. But for sharing a file with a large audience, the daily link limits get in the way, use storage.to for the wide shares, and Premium even offers permanent storage if you want to move off Dropbox entirely. ## No Traffic Limits, No Suspended Links Upload up to 25GB and share with a link that never gets throttled or disabled.
