This is a simple but incredibly useful hint for those that want to or already do use Dropbox as a file sharing tool for when you share external links on community forums such as this.
Typically, the link you get from Dropbox when you click share link is not a direct download link. It opens a file preview first which isn't necessarily a bad thing but if you want to use a link from Dropbox for the Downloader app for example, a link that shows a file preview isn't what you want to show when giving out your downloader code. One small link adjustment can fix it incredibly easily! View with enough likes below.
Sometimes the simplest things make a huge difference! Hope this helps in the future
