Hi,

 

we are using api's for dowloading files. Whenever we try to download a larger file (of size 5-6MB), its taking too much to time and sometimes we get connection timed out as well. Please inform us whether there is way to compress file while downloading? If there is a way to do that, please inform us how to do that?

 thank you for reaching out. This is currently not something we support, though we are exploring various requests to support more complex download scenarios. I'd recommend posting your idea to Box Pulse, our Platform Feedback system
