WHY DROPBOX ERROR 429 HAPPENED

REASON 1

FREE DROPBOX MEMBERS SHOULD BE AWARE:

– There are 20 GB bandwidth limitations set per day. This means that every file, photo or video that's viewed and/or downloaded counts against your daily allotment.

– EXAMPLE: You share a link to a 500 MB video (0.5 GB) and it's viewed 40 times in less than 24 hours, then your 20 GB bandwidth limit for a free Dropbox account has been attained (your links will be temporarily disabled, and anyone who tries to access them will see an error page instead of your files).

– Keep in mind that if you share a link with people who in turn shares the link with their friends, especially via social media, then your bandwidth limit could be reached in an hour (not hours).

– Upgrading to a pro account will remove the daily 20 GB restriction and will increase it to 200 GB.

REASON 2

– Your saved files was blacklisted by Dropbox's team.
– You should first remove any "links" that you created that may be causing the problem. Unfortunately they can't told which one of your files that makes your account temporary banned.
– If your link is shared, it could go 'viral' and all your links frozen.
– First "ban" is for 24 hours but if you leave the links operational you may never get loose!
