how to download a dropbox file link

Postby Filippo10 » Sat Oct 08, 2022 12:00 pm

Hi,

Can I use FDM to download a file someone shared with me via dropbox? It doesn't seem to be possible :shock:

Just open links in your browser, follow instructions on the web page (if needed) and let FDM catch downloads. Copy and paste won't work in most cases, they aren't links for direct download.

Just copy the URL to the file and change direct download to "DL=1".

Example (This URL is not working, just an example):
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/y78234fe ... fzfby&e=2&dl=1
