How much upload and download volume do I can reach before you start limiting my upload and download speed?"

Hi Jimmy, 


Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist!


Activities that affect bandwidth and monthly limitations include: 


  • Downloads from a shared link .  Limitations:
    • Individual free account: 10 GB per month*

    • Personal Pro and Box Business Accounts: 2 TB per calendar month, per person* 

    • Bandwidth counts against the usage of the file owner, regardless of whether the owner creates the shared link.


    • All downloads from any public shared link count towards the bandwidth limit.  You can reach this limit quickly, depending on several factors:


      • the size of the files being shared

      • the frequency of downloads,

      • file format (GIF, FLV, MP3, and so on)



*However, this limit does not apply to:
- Downloads from within an account by the content owner 
- Downloads by collaborators while logged in to their account


  • Files uploaded and downloaded.  Limitation:
    • 1TB per user per month for all plans (based on the person who uploads and/or downloads the file).

Hope it helps!
