Someone has shared a Dropbox folder with me. I got a URL to access the folder through the web interface. How can I download the entire folder?

The folder is large enough that I can't add it to my Dropbox.

Right click the folder and press 'Download'… it's as easy as that!

Adding a screenshot would make your question not just a oneliner – Jacob Jan Tuinstra May 16 at 4:55

There's kind of a workaround. Add

?dl=1

at the end of the link that was shared with you. This will download the entire folder as a neatly zipped archive.

As of the moment the following is possible: Go to your shared folders overview, select the folder you want to download -> a context menu appears at the top of the list with a download button. This downloads the whole folder as a zip.

You cannot download the entire folder without adding it to your Dropbox first.

Since you said the folder is too large for your Dropbox, you will need to download every individual item separately like you would download any other file from the Internet (right-click the item, then Save Link/Target As...).
