Hi! We are a team working on human connectometry database and need to download around 500 gibs of data from box.com (https://pitt.app.box.com/v/HCP1065?page=) located here. 

When i attempt to download all, it gives an error and says it exceeds the download limit. 

Since it will take a very long time for me to download them one by one, what other ways do i have?

    Hi Siyar, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Have you checked out this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196153-Common-Issues-with-Downloading-Files

    This may be relevant to your problem with the next steps!

    Furthermore, for this amount of contents, we recommend to use FTP as its intended for occasional bulk downloading of files from your account.
